"Billy Joe Shaver is indeed one of the best singer/songwriters alive today, if not the best. I have met the man and I have seen many of his live performances. This documentary did not capture any of the excitement or greatness of this man. This movie provided nothing of interest about a very intersting man. It dragged from start to finish and I kept waiting for something good to start until the final credits finally rolled. I can not put to words how disappointed I was in this failed attempt to paint a video portrait of a man that I hold in very high regards. When I think of portraits, I think of classic artists, so in contrast I would have to say that this portrait looks as though it was painted by a 4 year old with crayons. Do not waste your money, just go and watch Mr Billy Joe Shaver perform live!"

One of the greatest musicians alive today

"I've become a fan of Billy Joe Shaver over the last couple of years. This man has had such a hard life, and yet when he smiles, you know it comes right from the heart. If you've heard Billy Joe's music, then this DVD is a must. You really need to know what Billy Joe is singing about. This man is so honest and humble. Billy Joe lays it on the line for you - every time. Our political leaders sure could learn a lot from Billy Joe Shaver. I guess we all could. Watch this DVD and you'll see what I mean."
