83It does a splendid job not only of introducing newcomers to a vital artist they might have missed, but of reminding rabid fans of Earle's stripe why they were infected to begin with.
-
80Rather than connecting all the chronological dots, Brown has fashioned Van Zandt's balm-to-the-brokenhearted legacy into potent cinematic poetry.
-
78Rejecting normality for nomadism, Van Zandt's life was difficult, but, man, what a legacy of music he left.
-
Proves a less-than-satisfying examination of the country singer's art, career and demons.
