The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico

In 1971, Guy Terrifico was at the zenith of his career. Moments later, in a blaze of whiskey, pills, canceled shows and gun shots his career was over and so – allegedly – was his life. At least so everyone thought until something truly weird happened; 30 years after his death a new Guy Terrifico album is released. Naturally this has raised some questions because, as Merle Haggard observes, It’s real hard to sing when you’re dead. The strange and debatably short life of Guy Terrifico takes us from the wilds of Canada to the wild times of Nashville and London. Fondly remembered by his contemporaries like Kris Kristofferson, Ronnie Hawkins, Levon Helm and Merle Haggard, Guy’s life story is told throw a combination of modern day interviews with his old cohorts and archival footage of Guy back in the day.
