Snagfilms is offering “Be Here To Love Me” the Townes Van Zandt documentary this weekend for free. You can watch the entire thing here. It’s a pretty sweet little doc on a very underappreciated and undervalued country folk artist who have a very tough time of things in his short life.. The film features appearances and testimonials byt the Van Zandt’s family as well as Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris and more.
Perhaps one of the most underrated songwriters of the last century, ‘Be Here To Love Me’ chronicles the fascinating and often turbulent life of Townes Van Zandt with a simple unpredictability that mimics the way the artist lived his short life. Directed by Margaret Brown, this haunting and lyrical film combines emotional interviews with Van Zandt’s immediate family and such luminaries as Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle and Guy Clark with rare footage of Van Zandt at home and on the stage.
