BE HERE TO LOVE ME (TOWNES VAN ZANDT)

Margaret Brown
USA 2004
99 min
V'06

The poignant profile of a troubled troubadour, Be Here to Love Me is a dignified and wistful look at the unusual life, difficult career and lasting influence of singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt. Among those influenced at various stages of their careers by Van Zandt's songwriting are interviewees Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle. Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley, who was producing sessions for Van Zandt in 1997 when he died at 52 of a heart attack following hip surgery, best sums up the legacy, noting that what makes Van Zandt great is that his music couldn't be categorized as either Country, Blues, Folk or Pop.
