Movie Reviews of Heartworn Highways
Movie Review: not for the ordinary
Summary: 5 Stars
this is exceptional and inspiring for people of broader thinking.it recaps some of the great art and blues of american rootsMovie Review: Great Collector's Item DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased Heartworn Highways about 4 weeks ago and have watched it several times. I actually think the "extras" are better then the main part of the documentary. The best part of the DVD and what makes it a true collector's item is the scenes shot around Guy and Suzanna Clark's kitchen table on Christmas Eve with a 20 year old Steve Earle already showing how talented he is and would become. Also sitting around the table is Rodney Crowell, Steve Young, John Hiatt, Guy and a great steel guitar player who I was not familiar with. The parts with Townes are priceless also though you should get the DVD on Townes life if you are a big fan like I am.Movie Review: Americana fans you have a treat in store.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of those little films that most people will probably overlook as they thumb through the various products and never know what they have missed but the performances by the various artists are a treat and a time capsule. Appearances by Townes Van Zant, Guy Clark, and a very young Steve Earle are "candy" for americana music fans.Movie Review: great music
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed the dvd a lot. though i have seen there was supposed to be a 22 page booklet i believe when sold elsewheres. This did not come with my dvd. I sure would have enjoyed the booklet.Movie Review: Diverse crew of pickers/rare footage/some better than others
Summary: 3 Stars
This DVD starts strong with Guy Clarke down in (I'm presuming) his basement in the mid-70's pickin' and singin' "LA Freeway", as the opening credits roll; I'm very partial to Guy and Townes Van Zandt (2 of the major stars that are followed around) so insofar as their parts of the DVD, it's a no brainer 5 stars from my perspective. Some very intimate moments with Townes Van Zandt, as he's picking ("Waitin' 'Round to Die" in particular) and other times just horsing around with friends and, of course, a bottle of whiskey.... I'm not too fond of David Alan Coe being on this DVD alongside those, as I think his divisive lyrics speak for themselves (and i'm not referring only to the line in 'If that Ain't Country' but, rather, some pretty pathetic stuff from his 1982 "Underground Album"). In addition to my disliking David Alan Coe's racial leanings, the parts where he is involved just don't seem to "fit". Maybe if you're a David Alan Coe fan (and I DO understand not all D.A. Coe fans share his views regarding what all has come out of his mind, onto a piece of paper and out of his mouth) then you will really enjoy those parts of 'Heartworn Highways'. Charlie Daniels as well doesn't seem to fit but, to be fair, I (Spike) can't just 'mold' this DVD into my own perfect cast -- it is what it is! I'm sure the Coe fans and C.D Band fans and all probably wonder what the hell those hippies are doin' in there, from the other side've the coin. A young Steve Earle, Larry Jon Wilson, Gamble Rogers, Rodney Crowell and more all pop in and out to add some spice.... some interesting interviews and footage of just regular folk also contribute to 'Heartworn Highways' and, if you can just appreciate the DVD for what it is, scattered and all, then it's worth a buy. I don't regret owning it, and pop it in every couple years to watch again --- maybe pickin' my six string or "lookin at my watch" (Cash, 1994) during the times I'm not as interested....
