Heartworn Highways
Double LP in gatefold sleeve. 20 page booklet with essay by Sam Sweet interviewing artists and documentary creators and
crew.
Sometimes, a documentary maker is present at precisely the right moment to capture lightning in a bottle. It happened
with essential punk doc The Decline of Western Civilization, it happened with Dylan's Don't Look Back and Chet Baker's
Let's Get Lost, and it happened with 1976's Heartworn Highways.
The iconic performance documentary saw filmmaker James Szalapski travel to Texas and Tennessee to capture the radical
country artists reclaiming the genre via an appreciation for its heritage in folk and bluegrass and a rejection of the
mainstream Nashville machine. Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Steve Young, David Allan Coe, Steve Earle and many others
appeared on both screen and soundtrack, where musical highlights include Clark's brilliant "Desperados Waiting For A
Train", Young's stirring "Alabama Highways" and Van Zandt's emotional "Waiting Around To Die".
