Terry Allen

Terry Allen is an internationally recognized visual artist and songwriter who occupies an utterly unique position straddling the disparate, and usually distant, worlds of conceptual art and country music. As Ken Johnson has observed in The New York Times, “There is just one person whose art has been seen in highbrow museums around the country and is an inductee of the Buddy Holly Walk of Fame in Lubbock. He is Terry Allen.” For over fifty years Allen has dedicated himself to confounding popular perceptions of contemporary art and country, and the traditional mutual alienation of their respective core audiences. His wide-ranging, border-crossing career reveals important insights about interdisciplinarity and collaboration, bridging and belying the widening divisions that define and distort American culture and politics, now more than ever. As Allen sometimes quips, “People tell me it’s country music, and I ask, ‘Which country?’”

Watch the video of Terry playing this song on Shindig in 1966. It’s great.

This brings back memories of seeing Terry and the band playing on the Sunset Strip one night back in the day. That was a party … 🎉

He was my art professor in the late 70s, early 80s. Very cool guy. We’d all drive down to LA to watch him perform his albums. I still like listening to his music.

Back in the mists of time when this album was first released, I heard ‘Cocaine Cowboy’ and ‘Maybellene’ on a BBC Radio broadcast hosted by blues legend, Alexis Korner R.I.P.. Within a week local Belfast hero Kenny McDowell (he took over singing duties with ‘Them’ after Van Morrison went solo) and his sidekick guitarist Jim Armstrong had introduced Cocaine Cowboy to their set list and played it every week for years. I’ve owned a copy of ‘Smokin’ The Dummy’ ever since and even occasionally buy second hand copies to give to friends. Ah, good musical times!
