Jo Harvey Allen: Who is Terry Allen married to?

Terry Allen, an artist and musician, has drawn inspiration from the Southwest for more than 50 years. Allen, who is 78 years old, invokes the area’s vast stretches of deserted highways, run-down hotels, and neon-lit bars, as well as the bank robbers, retired football stars, and small-town loner inhabitants, in a collection of work that includes albums, installations, radio plays, and drawings. There always appears to be the possibility of romance or violence lurking underneath the surface.

Allen grew up in Lubbock working as a soda salesman at the dance hall his father, a former baseball player turned event producer, ran. It was there that he heard Little Richard and Hank Williams perform. In the 1960s, while attending art school in Los Angeles, he made friends with Ed Ruscha and socialized with surrealists.
