Heartworn Highway (Great music to check out)

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Heartworn Highway soundtrack is being released Tuesday the 14th of March. You can hear samplings of it on amazon.com.

Here is what amazon.com has to say about the album:


Amazon.com
This homespun documentary soundtrack celebrates a circle of some of the finest songwriters in progressive country, just as they were starting to come into their own. The intimate informality of the mid-'70s performances finds Guy Clark at the center of that circle of Texans relocated to Nashville, with the then-unknown Rodney Crowell and Steve Earle among his acolytes. All of them sound impossibly, irrepressibly young, though the early songs of Townes Van Zandt (particularly "Waitin' 'Round to Die") already carried the world on their back. Among the highlights are a Christmas Eve party at the Nashville home of Guy and Susannah Clark, where the singalong ranged from his "That Old Time Feeling" to the Crowell-led finale of a spirited "Silent Night." It's fascinating to hear these artists in their formative stages, making music for fun and for each other, in light of what they would become. --Don McLeese

Product Description
20 UNRELEASED RECORDINGS FROM THE BIRTH OF AMERICANA
In 1975, the film Heartworn Highways documented the emerging singer-songwriter scene in Nashville and Austin, capturing intimate performances by artists like Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell while they were still struggling to be heard. 30 years later, we have restored these now historic recordings to their original, unedited length and are making them available for the first time ever, in all of their ragged, whiskey-soaked glory.

Featuring the first recordings ever made by Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell and John Hiatt, available for the very first time and previously unreleased acoustic performances by Townes Van Zandt, David Allan Coe, Guy Clark and Steve Young.

Every track is previously unreleased, restored to its original length, and mastered to audiophile quality.
