Countryobit: Jack Clement

Jack Clement - known as "Cowboy" - has died.

Clement's nickname came from a sketch he was in on the radio and not authentic links to wrangling. He worked as an engineer and producer at Sun Studios; he was also the writer of two of Johnny Cash's early number ones. He also produced a couple of songs on U2's Rattle And Hum, but nobody's perfect.

Jack Clement was 82; he died Thursday 8th August in Nashville.
