 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

Although it's all but unknown outside of a devoted cult following, Terry Allen's second album, 1979's 

Lubbock (On Everything), is one of the finest country albums of all time, a progenitor of what would eventually be called alt-country. 

This is country music with a wink and a dry-as-West-Texas-dust sense of humor, but at heart, Lubbock (On Everything) 

is a thoughtful meditation on Allen's hometown. Recorded in Lubbock after Allen hadn't lived there for close 

to a decade with a small group headed by local legends Don Caldwell and Lloyd Maines, the songs alternate 

between biting character studies like "Lubbock Woman" and "The Great Joe Bob (A Regional Tragedy)," 

about a high school football star who ends up robbing a liquor store, and more loving tributes like 

"The Thirty Years War" and "The Wolfman of Del Rio." Salted through are a handful of songs about 

the pretensions of the art world (something Allen knows well in his day job as a sculptor and painter) 

that help keep the album's more cutting lines from sounding mean-spirited. 

A 20-song masterpiece, Lubbock (On Everything) is essential listening for anyone 

with an interest in the outer fringes of country music...(AllMusic)
