 | Heartworn Highways
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $11.36 The title sounds like a cheesy movie that you might find on the Hallmark channel, but that's only if you read it without the pain. This DVD contains footage of my musical heroes like Guy and Susannah Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, John Hiatt, and David Allan Coe. I've watched this one over and over.

 | Lucinda Williams - Live from Austin, TX
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $10.84 This might be my favorite of the "Live from Austin, TX" DVD series that I own. A lot of the songs on here are from the "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" album, and, yes, that's Jim Lauderdale playing rhythm guitar and singing back up. 5 stars on a 4 star scale.

 | Car Wheels on a Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams

 | Mendocino by Sir Douglas Quintet
Buy new: $20.98 / Used from: $9.87 This is one of those overlooked gems that not enough people know about. It's Doug Sahm and Augie Meyer from some of their pre-Texas Tornado days. I picked this album up when it was re-issued a few years ago and still find myself playing it regularly. Great stuff!
