Free Music Notes for Heartworn Highways
Free Music Review: Awesome Rare Tracks by Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, David Allan Coe, Guy Clark, & Townes Van Zandt!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Some awesome tracks from an outstanding documentary!! A young Steve Earle at his absolute finest with Darlin' Commit Me & Mercenary Song. David Allan Coe is frank and earnest at Tennessee State Penitentary with great commentary and a hard to find gem; River. Guy clark is at his best with; Ballad of Laverne and Captain Flint, as well as the classics; Desperadoes Waiting for a Train, That Old Time Feeling, & L.A. Freeway. And last but certainly not least is Townes Van Zandt's extremely soulful Waitin' Round to Die, as well as Towns' version of his own penned country music icon; Pancho and Lefty.
This is a hidden treasure chest of gems that is a must have for any country music fan. No bubble-gum-pop-modern-"country"-garbage here, these are singer/songwriter heroes at their finest.
Free Music Review: A great album featuring rare great artists from an important film
Hit: 5 Stars
At SXSW two years ago Lyle Lovett, called Heartworn Highways his favorite music film, and it's easy to understand why. This album features some wonderfully mastered recordings of some groundbreaking artists in their prime -- including three from Steve Earle when he was only 20 years old! Many have called this movie one of the most important music films ever made and the power of these recordings certainly corroborates that notion. Here are Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clarke, John Hiatt, Rodney Crowell and more beautifully recorded in intimate settings. Truly priceless, in my book.Free Music Review: Americana was born here
Hit: 5 Stars
Listening to a young (19 years old!) Steve Earle gives me chills - "Mercenary Song" is my new favorite; it just resonates of backwoods beauty. The production on this is warm and beautiful - you feel as if you're sitting right there at the table with these guys, drinking whiskey, smoking Marlboros, and reclining in your old hickory chair as they create Americana right in front of your eyes. Besides "Mercenary Song," Guy Clark steals the show on 5 tracks, each of them heartbreakingly beautiful, most of all the lonesome "Desperadoes Waiting For a Train."
A+
Free Music Review: Heart worn Highways is TERRIFIC!
Hit: 5 Stars
What a great time capsule from 1976 - Heartworn Highways. I absolutely LOVED this cd (and dvd). Found out that I love songs by Guy Clark, Larry Jon Wilson, Rodney Crowell, Townes Van Zandt. Really interesting stories, you enjoy it tremendously. At first, I didn't know any of the artists' music (except for Steve Earle) and now I'm a big fan of these folks. Favorite tracks: "L.A. Freeway," "Ohopee River Bottomland," "Bluebird Wine," and "Texas Cookin." GREAT, GREAT stuff. Do yourself a favor and get the DVD too.Free Music Review: Young Steve rips it up!
Hit: 5 Stars
This soundtrack is an excellent companion to the absolutely must-see DVD. The Steve Earle tunes in particular are unbelievable. I'd never heard (or heard of) "Darling Commit Me" and "Elijah's Church" before and they are on a level with best songs that he has ever written. He apparently emerged from the womb a fully-formed songwriter. Seeing a greasy-haired teenager sing these beautiful songs on the DVD is astounding. Any Earle freaks or lovers of Texas songcraft have got to check these out.
