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 outIaw country documentary saw filmmaker James SzaIapski traveI to Texas and Tennessee to capture the radicaI artists reclaiming the genre by rejecting the mainstream NashviIle machine. Townes Van Zandt, Guy CIark, Steve Young, David AIlan 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 emotional '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 traiIer, see Coe pIay in Tennessee State Prison, join the gang in Nashville s notorious Wig Wam Tavern and witness a liquor-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 coupIe festival screenings, the movie remained unreIeased for five years after its compIetion, finally hitting screens in 1981. lt has been buiIding a cuIt audience ever since. - Light in the Attic Records
