 There may be no greater maverick than Terry Allen in all of country music from the mid-'70s onward. 

Along with Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, and Butch Hancock

-- all of whom he's known and collaborated with -- 

Allen is a standard-bearer of the Lubbock, Texas country scene. 

Though not widely heralded, this is perhaps the most progressive movement in all 

of contemporary country, digging into modern-day concerns with a gutsy, liberal perspective 

while maintaining a firm musical grounding in regional country and folk traditions. 

Allen is perhaps the most ambitious of them all, writing complex song cycles that have been performed 

with the help of fellow eclectics ranging from Lowell George to David Byrne.

Allen's audience, like those of other Lubbock pioneers, is not the country mainstream. 

Indeed, his principal appeal may not lie with the country audience at all (though his music 

definitely is country), but with open-minded alternative folk and rock listeners

Terry Allen is, first and foremost, a visual artist. 

He just happens to make brilliant, idiosyncratic albums on the side. 

In fact, his first album, 1975's Juarez, wasn't even initially conceived as an album, 

but as a set of songs recorded to accompany an artwork installation. 

Original copies of the album were released with a set of lithographs illustrating 

the characters who populate the album's world, an elliptical place where 

motivations and desires are often shadowy to the point of inscrutability, 

but the characterizations are almost three-dimensional. 

The story of two couples on a drinking spree that turns into a murderous chase 

through the southern California desert, Juarez is a tough-as-nails narrative 

with the deadpan, biting humor of crime fiction writers like Jim Thompson 

or Chester Himes. The album was recorded quickly and on a low budget, 

so the musical settings are ultra-spare, with Allen's whiskey-cured vocals 

and thumping piano often the only musical elements. As a concept album, 

the individual songs don't work as well out of context, but listened 

to as a whole, Juarez is one of the more fascinating country albums of its time, 

like Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger 

as reimagined by Quentin Tarantino...(AllMusic)
