HEARTWORN HIGHWAYS

I just bought this dvd from the local record store. It documents Texas and Tennessee mid 1970s-  a golden era in country music. Appearances by Townes Van Zandt, David Allen Coe, Steve Earl, Guy Clark to name a few.  A lot of the footage is off them playing and hanging out in their living rooms, tour busses and trailers. Check out DAC's get up. Never seen a guy so tough in silver glitter boots with 3 inch heels.

A few years ago I worked in a video shop in England and we would watch this ALL the time. I love David Allen Coe playing at the prison and Townes with his girlfriend and his shotgun. Great find!
