5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Evening with an American Troubador, May 23, 2004

This review is from: Jerry Jeff Walker: The One and Only (DVD)

This DVD captures Jerry Jeff at his best. Beatiful ballads,
some rockers like Red Neck Mother and Trashy Women and just enough stories and B.S. to keep it from being boring. He's in great voice and it's just him and his guitar. Settle in with your favorite beverage, a good companion and enjoy this intimate concert.

This review is from: Jerry Jeff Walker: The One and Only (DVD)

Jerry Jeff Walker's a lucky man. Mr. Bojangles (he wrote the song) gave him the ability to play, make mistakes, and learn a whole bunch about people and the world. He shares his experiences here in a rare solo performance. Most of his songs are about characters he has run into - Stoney, Charlie Dunn, Hondo Crouch, many more.

If you like folk music and want to hear a "gypsy songman" play his songs and tell his stories (and learn a thing or two in the process), this DVD is for you.

The only thing that keeps this DVD from being timeless is the unnecessary political commentary.

5.0 out of 5 stars You will want to hit the road and quit your job, May 1, 2007

This review is from: Jerry Jeff Walker: The One and Only (DVD)

It has been many years since the days of "Jacky Jack" when Jerry Jeff would hit the stage lit up like a Christmas tree and 20,000 long haired country boys (and girls)equally lit would join in for Red Neck Mother and L.A. Freeway but make no mistake, Jerry Jeff still has that twinkle in his eye from many a interesting night and hung over day. The One and Only is a trip down memory lane for those of us who have switched from Jack Daniels to red wine and now see Mr. Bojangles in venues that hold a couple of thousand people, not 10,000 drunken maniacs. But what a trip it is. Jerry Jeff is reflective, funny, and at times poetic. It is also nice to remember that our musical icons used to hit the road to find stories and hone their craft instead of hiring marketing managers and cutting deals with Wal Mart to sell records. If your too young to remember when Walker was at the heart of the 1970's Austin / Country-Alt Music scene, watch this DVD and I bet you will want to quit your job, dust of the guitar and hit the road.
