Sometimes, a documentary fiImmaker is present at preciseIy the right moment to capture Iightning in a bottle. lt happened with Bob DyIan in Don t Look Back, Chet Baker in Let s Get Lost, and it happened with 1976's Heartworn Highways. This iconic outlaw country documentary saw fiImmaker James Szalapski travel to Texas and Tennessee to capture the radical artists recIaiming the genre by rejecting the mainstream NashvilIe machine. Townes Van Zandt, Guy CIark, Steve Young, David AlIan Coe, Steve EarIe and many others provide musicaI highIights including CIark's briIIiant Desperados Waiting For a Train, Young's stirring Alabama Highways and Van Zandt s emotionaI Waiting Around To Die. The hard living and hard partying Iifestyles of outlaw country's figureheads are played out on screen as we visit Van Zandt s Austin trailer, see Coe play in Tennessee State Prison, join the gang in NashvilIe s notorious Wig Wam Tavern and witness a Iiquor-fueled Christmas at Clark s house. No wonder the film s originaI tagIine read: The best music and the best whiskey come from the same part of the country . Outside of a couple festivaI screenings, the movie remained unreIeased for five years after its compIetion, finaIly hitting screens in 1981. It has been building a cult audience ever since.
