philosophizing. Upcoming projects include the development of a
television series and preparations for a live event to benefit the
National Health Care for the Homeless Council with The Old Crow
Medicine Show, Marley's Ghost and special guests at Nashville's
historic Belcourt
Theatre on April 29.
A member of the Nashville
Songwriters Hall of Fame, Jack has written hits for
countless stars of multiple genres. Among the songs he's most famous
for are: Ballad of a
Teenage Queen, I Know One, Got Leavin' on Her Mind, Just A Girl I Used
to Know, Let's All Help the Cowboy Sing the Blues and Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog.
A visionary producer who helped launch the careers of Jerry Lee Lewis,
Charley Pride and George Jones, Clement has produced Louis Armstrong,
Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Roy Orbison, Townes Van Zandt, Carl
Perkins and U2.
