Dublin Blues

"Dublin Blues" opens the 1995 Asylum album of the same name at 4:19, produced by Miles Wilkinson. Wikipedia credits Clark alone as the writer; one search summary said it was written with Wilkinson, and that point is unresolved. The narrator is in Dublin, wishing he were back in Austin, and the line people remember refers to Doc Watson's performance of "Columbus Stockade Blues"; Watson's album Memories includes "Columbus Stockade". The Philadelphia Inquirer read that line as the clearest expression of how much the folk community values Watson, though that comes from a search snippet and was not read in full.

Setlist.fm counts 24 performances, the third most among his songs. Steve Earle sang it on Austin City Limits, Mipso released it as a single in 2022, and W.B. Givens recorded it with Mayeux and Broussard. A story that the Mad Dog Margarita did not exist before the song, relayed through the Texas Chili Parlor's owner, is unverified.
