Buddy Mondlock writes songs. He does it so well that some great songwriters haverecorded his songs on their own albums. Guy Clark, Nanci Griffith and Janis Ian, to namejust a few. But there’s nothing like hearing the guy who wrote ‘em sing ‘em. He’s not goingto pin your ears back with those songs. He’s going to draw you into his world.It was Guy Clark who first discovered Buddy playing under a tree at the Kerrville FolkFestival in 1986. Guy went back to Nashville, opened the door and yelled, “Pay attentiony’all, this kid’s good.” Soon after, Buddy was driving a U-Haul south from his nativeChicago. A publishing deal with EMI was waiting. In the years that followed, cuts with thelikes of Garth Brooks, Joan Baez and David Wilcox cemented his reputation asa songwriter. Peter, Paul and Mary recorded his song, “The Kid” and he sang it with themon their 1996 “Great Performances” PBS television special.But Buddy never considered just laying back and writing songs for others. He’s alwaysbeen a performer first. The joy he takes in singing and playing and telling stories for folksshines through and his audiences take that with them.And although never one to rush things, he’s accumulated a string of critically acclaimedCDs including 2002’s “Everything Waits To Be Noticed,” a writing and recordingcollaboration with Maia Sharp and Art Garfunkel. And his latest album, “Filament,”produced by Brad Jones, explores some new territory for him, both sonically andrhythmically.In recent years Buddy has been writing songs with military veterans through a programsponsored by an organization called Music Therapy of the Rockies and he includes severalof those songs in his shows (and one on his new album). “This has been such a powerfulexperience and I’m honored to have been trusted with these stories of trauma, and oftriumph too,” he says.Turns out he’s also a fine teacher, hosting songwriting workshops across the US andoverseas, sharing the wonder of making something out of nothing and helping others to findtheir own creative sparks. He’s been on staff at the famed Swannanoa Gathering as well asat the songwriting schools at festivals like Kerrville and Sisters.“Buddy Mondlock writes beautiful songs and plays the kind of guitar they deserve. He’s afine person and a fine artist.” Townes Van Zandt
