Jack Henderson Clement, le
5 Avril 1931 à Whitehaven (Tennessee). Jack Clement a débuté en 1951 au sein des "Tennessee Troupers", puis il passe dans les "Dixie Ramblers" de Slim Wallace. Engagé à la Sun Records de Memphis (Tennessee) comme preneur de son, Jack a enregistré Jerry Lee Lewis,
Carl Perkins,
Roy Orbison,
Johnny Cash et
Charlie Rich. Il fait un premier enregistrement en solo chez Sun en 1958, mais Jack préférait son travail d'ingénieur du son. Jack Clement
est devenu un producteur réputé de Nashville. Il est décédé le 8 Août 2013.
One of the most
opportune, creative, and maverick characters in American music history, singer,
songwriter, producer, engineer, and song publisher Jack Clement has an amazingly
long and varied music résumé that includes working with all manner of musicians
ranging from Louis Armstrong, Doc Watson,
and Frank Yankovic to U2 , Johnny Cash, and
Townes Van Zandt. Clement was born in Whitehaven, TN, in 1931, the son of a
choir director. He began playing music professionally during a 1948-1952 stint
in the U.S. Marines, working with the
Stonemans, Roy Clark, and
Jimmy Dean and playing in a band called the
Tennessee Troupers. In 1953, fresh out of the Marines, Clement and mandolin
player Buzz Busby formed the
bluegrass duo Buzz and Jack, the Bayou Boys. After some time in college, Clement
settled in Memphis, where he started Fernwood Records with Slim Wallace,
recording artists in Wallace's garage. After hearing some tracks from these
garage sessions in 1956, Sam Phillips of Sun Records hired Clement as an
engineer and producer (as well as a sometimes recording artist) for the label. A
key architect of the famed Sun sound, Clement worked with Jerry Lee Lewis,
Carl Perkins,
Roy Orbison,
Johnny Cash, and
Charlie Rich at Sun Studios over the next
three years (turning out some of the most famous and pivotal recordings in rock
& roll history) before leaving in 1959 to set up his own Summer Records, which
unfortunately folded almost immediately, although the Fernwood imprint he had
started with Wallace continued to be active. Now frequently billed as Cowboy
Jack, Clement began to be an in-demand producer at the major labels, working
most notably with Chet Atkins at RCA. He
started a song publishing company, Hall-Clement Music, in 1961 with Bill Hall,
and a year later pitched one of the new company's songs to country singer
George Jones. The song, called "She
Thinks I Still Care," went on to hit the top of the country charts in 1962 and
became Jones' signature tune. In 1964 a late-night call from
Johnny Cash led to Clement arranging the
horns for Cash's "Ring of Fire." In 1968 he began producing a series of albums
for songwriter Townes Van Zandt. Jack Clement Studios, a then impressive and
modern 16-track facility, opened its doors in Nashville in 1970, and promptly
had a hit with Ray Stevens' "Everything
Is Beautiful." By now a legend on his own terms, Clement worked with
Don Williams and
Waylon Jennings, among others, in the
1970s, and with Johnny Cash and
John Hartford, again among others,
in the 1980s. In 1988 he was approached by U2 to record an album back at the old
Sun Studios. Clement, who had never heard of the band, was convinced it was a
bad idea until friends persuaded him otherwise, and the result was the U2 album
called Rattle and Hum. Clement began the new century as part of a performing
trio with Billy Burnette and
Shawn Camp and then began
concentrating on his own records, releasing Guess Things Happen That Way in 2004
and Connect Set and Shakespeare Was a Big George Jones Fan in 2005. Shout!
Factory re-released Shakespeare in 2007 along with Cowboy Jack Clement's Home
Movies.
Jack Clement died August 8, 2013. Jack
Clement died of liver cancer at his home in Nashville on August 8, 2013; he was
82 years old.
