Legendary songwriter Guy Clark’s iconic album Dublin Blues shines in a new light on this 30th anniversary remixed and remastered edition. The album was remixed from 32/192 digital transfers of the original analog tapes by Miles Wilkinson, the album’s original co-producer and engineer, at Compass Sound Studio in Nashville (formerly Glaser Sound Studio, aka "Hillbilly Central"). This deluxe reissue, which is available on CD and limited edition blue vinyl, includes liner notes written by Wilkinson and Clark’s former touring partner, the acclaimed singer-songwriter Darrell Scott.

"Tongue-and-groove meditations on life and love." —Entertainment Weekly

This limited edition reissue includes the previously undiscovered and never-before-released track, "Once More With Caution," with Emmylou Harris and Verlon Thompson on vocals and Darrell Scott on guitar. The album also features performances from a long list of Americana music royalty: Sam Bush, Rodney Crowell, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Nanci Griffith, Kathy Mattea and Kenny Malone.
