 So many saints are here November 27, 2008
If we lived in the Middle Ages - just about everyone playing on this dvd would be a saint. I doubt if anyone would deny that Townes van Zandt is the energy around which all these other marvels gravitate - at least there is something absolutely spellbinding about him here, swaggeringly young, handsome, and drunk as he is. But Steve Earle, Guy Clark, Steve Young, Rodney Crowell, John Hiatt (on the outtakes) and many others are all here in one great big whoop of life. After watching this you will immediately want to go off and write songs. These guys inspire simply by loving what they do, and the film makers saw it and conveyed it so that 30 years later anyone with eyes can see there magic was happening.
 Great Collector's Item DVD November 25, 2008
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.
SPLENDID October 5, 2008
I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO BE HANGING OUT WITH THESE GUYS. GUY CLARK, TOWNES, STEVE EARLE, JUST TO NAME A FEW. I TRULY ENJOY THIS DVD AND HAVE WATCHED IT MANY TIMES AND HAVE TURNED A LOT OF MY FRIENDS ONTO IT. THE ONLY BAD PART IS THERE SEEMS TO BE TOO MUCH DAVID ALLAN COE. I REALLY CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW HE FITS INTO THIS DVD, BUT THE GOOD OUTWEIGHS THE BAD AS THE REST OF THE CAST ARE EXCELLENT. SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MADE AROUND THE EARLY SEVENTIES AS GUY CLARK AND TOWNES AND STEVE EARLE ALL LOOK LIKE THEY ARE IN THEIR 20'S OR EARLY 30'S. STEVE EARLE IS SO YOUNG LOOKING HE IS ALMOST UNRECOGNIZABLE AT FIRST. IT CONTAINS SOME CANDID INTERVIEWS ALSO, THE ONES WITH TOWNES BEING THE HIGHLIGHT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
not for the ordinary September 30, 2008
this is exceptional and inspiring for people of broader thinking.it recaps some of the great art and blues of american roots
A little frayed around the cuff but August 22, 2008
I loved it. In my opinion some of the footage should have been put in the trash rather than in the film but that is what the skip button is for.
The footage from Guy Clark's kitchen table, Townes' kitchen, Steve Earle doing the Mercenary Song, Rodney doing Bluebird Wine, Steve Young doing Alabama Highway, everybody doing Silent Night, and Guy Clark at the Exit Inn was worth twice what I paid for the DVD. The really cool part is that I could have been at the Exit Inn the night that was made. Talking about bringing it all back home.
