Grammy winning songwriter Dave Alvin has been one of the most influential figures in American rock music for almost 30 years. Alvin burst onto the LA punk roots scene in the late seventies with his brother Phil in the seminal band The Blasters.

Taken from the vaults of the Austin City Limits TV series, Live From Austin TX features Dave Alvin's show in its entirety, with clips not shown on the original broadcast.
