I've been a Steve Earle fan for a very long time and I've always found him to be not only a great singer and songwriter but a compelling speaker. So I was disappointed with the way the director "tarted" things up; overlapping too much and using far too many special effects. If he'd kept things simple, it would have been a much better film. Still, it was interesting and I enjoyed hearing his son Justin sing. It's a must-see for fans and, perhaps, for those who don't understand him.
