16 Horsepower galore


I just found this brilliant documentary on David Eugene Edwards (16 Horsepower/Wovenhand) on YouTube and I had to share it.

It was made for Dutch television in 2000 and not only contains some very interesting chats with the guy, we also get to meet his son, his wife and his grandfather and see some absolutely stunning live performances, including the best version of Strawfoot (off of Secret South) I've ever heard.

Thank you for this. Was hoping to catch them in SF this year, but might have missed it.
