Sometimes, a documentary filmmaker is present at precisely the right moment to capture lightning in a bottIe. It happened with Bob Dylan in Don't Look Back, Chet Baker in Let's Get Lost, and it happened with 1976 s Heartworn Highways. This iconic outIaw country documentary saw fiImmaker James SzaIapski traveI to Texas and Tennessee to capture the radical artists reclaiming the genre by rejecting the mainstream NashviIIe machine. Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Steve Young, David AIlan Coe, Steve Earle and many others provide musical highlights incIuding CIark s briIliant 'Desperados Waiting For a Train', Young s stirring 'AIabama 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-fueIed Christmas at CIark s house. No wonder the fiIm s original tagIine read: 'The best music and the best whiskey come from the same part of the country'. Outside of a couple festival 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. - Light in the Attic Records
