Steve Earle- Darlin' Commit Me

I'll be posting stuff off and on from Heartworn Highways for the rest of the summer.

Via Wikipedia:

Heartworn Highways is documentary film by James Szalapski whose vision captured some of the founders of the Outlaw Country movement in Texas and Tennessee in the last weeks of 1975 and the first weeks of 1976. The film was not released theatrically until 1981. The documentary covers the artists who were singing songs they wrote in a style that was more like their grandparents' music two generations back instead of following in the tradition of the previous generation. Some of the main songwriter/performers are Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, David Allan Coe, Rodney Crowell, Gamble Rogers, Steve Young, and The Charlie Daniels Band.

There's Somethin 'Bout Mondays

Hate Mondays? Hate your job? Yeah me too. As Steve Earle would say, "There's somethin 'bout Mondays that always makes me blue."

Rocking out to Steve Earle's workingman's blues in "A Week of Living Dangerously" doesn't cure the Monday blues, but it does feel pretty damn good.

Everybody needs a week of living dangerously every now and then if you ask me.

Bonus: This footage of a young Steve Earle from Heartworn Highways is incredible.
