Sylvie Simmons, The Guardian, 13 May 2004
OF ALL OF THE underground country artists from the Texas panhandle (Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, etc) none is as quite as maverick, or gifted, as Terry Allen. The 61-year-old in the just-flew-in-from-Maui shirt and shades, wiping sweat off his face with a teacloth and walloping an electric keyboard, is also the least well-known.
