For more than half a century, the artist and musician Terry Allen has been inspired by the Southwest. “It’s the space, it’s the horizon,” he told me. “And also the paradox of it being so restrictive and conservative on other levels. There are so many crazy people that come out of that part of the world—and I don’t mean crazy in any particular negative way, I just mean, like, crazy to do things, to make things, to get out of there, to confront your life.
Allen’s refusal to stick to one medium means he exists as something of an outsider, even as his work has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Hirshhorn. Years ago, the Smithsonian expressed interest in his archive, and Allen sent them reel-to-reel tapes with some of his old recordings.
What did this bring to your life, and to the world of Lubbock, having these outside influences coming in? I remember getting in a car and driving at night as fast as you could go, listening to Wolfman Jack, who would be playing music that you had never heard—Southern blues, rhythm and blues, doo wop. It was kind of perfect. There was a kind of weirdness to what was on the air—there was a Bible salesman who came on after Wolfman Jack who literally sold autographed pictures of Jesus Christ, direct from the Holy Land.
