Movie Reviews of Larger Than Life: A Celebration of Steve Goodman and His Music

Movie Review: Larger Than Life, Indeed
Summary: 5 Stars

Steve Goodman died way back in 1984. A gifted singer, guitarist and songwriter, he never found the fame he deserved in his lifetime, but his songs and his reputation seem to be immortal.

Shortly after his death in 1984, there was a trbute album, A Tribute to Steve Goodman, featuring a lot of Old Town School of Folk Music artists. Thirteen years later, in 1997, a second tribute to Steve and fundraiser for the Old Town School was recorded to a sold-out show at the Medinah Temple. This time, the artists included Arlo Guthrie, Iris Dement, Lyle Lovett, Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne and John Prine. The emcee was the great Studs Terkel. Now if you don't know who these people are - and apparently an earlier reviewer didn't - then you should skip this album. But if you loved Steve Goodman - and I am an unabashed fan - then this DVD belongs in your library.

A songwriter who appeals to that wide a selection of artists, all of who remember him with love, affection and awe, had to have something going for him. Beyond the music, there are interviews with Guthrie, Browne and others. And a tour of the remodeling of the Old Town School of Folk Music. The only mystery is why this album took 10 years to hit the streets.

I was at a John Prine concert night before last. John sang "Souvenirs," a song Steve produced. He dedicated the song to Steve, as he always does. And after every home victory by the Chicago Cubs, the fans all sing Steve's "Go Cubs Go."

Steve lives on in his music. See what all the fuss is about. Buy this DVD.
