Decidedly low-tech and not always particularly coherent or cohesive.

While the film's coziness toward its subject is ultimately frustrating, it does provide a welcome portrait of one of the music industry's genuine and rare iconoclasts.

Top CriticEven for a big fan like me, parts of this documentary (especially musical performances) just go on too long.

Earle's song introductions, like those of his mentors Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, are as meaty, pointed, and touching as the tunes themselves, and his spoken words -- full of humor and humanity -- are the heart of the film.

Did it make me want to run out and buy his albums? Well, maybe not, but it did make me like the man and respect the activist -- and the artist. Three out of four ain’t bad

A mediocre music documentary.

Earle -- and his fans -- deserve better.
11/07/03
A crude but stirring video documentary.

Top CriticThere's a tantalizing excerpt from Earle's performance of 'John Walker' on Fox News, but otherwise we mostly see him working his broad catalog for adoring crowds.
