Movie Reviews of Heartworn Highways
Movie Review: A great slice of music history.
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't know what to expect when I got this dvd. I'm a big fan of Americana music, specifically the late great Towns Van Zandt. I picked it up, and boy I'm glad I did.
What it turned out to be was a very intimate behind the scenes look at 1970's Americana/Country/Folk music.
This movie has a "home movie" feel to it. Almost a day in the life style. From Guy Clark fixing a broken guitar, to Towns Van Zandt talking about his royalty check he got in the mail while filming.
You are given a fly on the wall view of these music geniuses at their prime or in their youth as is the case with a very young Steve Earle.
The movie takes you from song to song with with hardly anything in between beside them tuning their guitars or traveling on their tour bus, as is the case with David Allan Coe.
My favorite moments are as follows:
A young Guy Clark singing L.A Freeway & Desperados Waiting For A Train.
Towns Van Zandt singing "a melody of his hit", Pancho & Lefty. Then later talking about royalty checks.
David Allan Coe performing in the prison he was once incarcerated in.
I can't get over how cool this dvd is. The special features include Christmas Eve at Guy Clark's house, where him, his wife Suzanna, and the boys sit around the kitchen table and jam. Where else would you find something like that? That's right, nowhere. That is why this dvd is so unique and wonderful. Some songs sung around the table are beauties, others are drunken Christmas songs that they have forgotten the lyrics to.
It is very hard to describe how unique and wonderful this movie is. If you are a fan of Americana/Folk music, then do yourself a favor and pick this gem up. You won't regret it. Happy listening/watching!
