No big budget biopic here, just an in depth look at the man who may be the best songwriter the US has ever produced: Townes Van Zandt. Never heard of ‘em? Well, you’ve most likely heard one of his songs seeing as nearly every musician of note has tackled his moody folk/blues/country/rock catalog at one point or another. In addition to interview and performance footage of Townes (who died in 1997), director Margaret Brown interviews music luminaries like Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, and Guy Clark to paint a portrait of a troublemaker rich kid who threw everything away to pursue his talent, and the catalog of genius he left behind.
Be Here To Love Me is getting limited release in the states starting in December, so keep an eye out. With a little luck, we’ll have a review of it before too long. In the meantime, check out the official site, or dig on trailer goodness.
