See Hear podcast Episode 8 - Heartworn Highways
Time for episode 8 of See Hear, the podcast that discusses
music-related films.
This time around, we discuss the 1976 documentary about the Outlaw
Country movement, Heartworn Highways directed by James Szalapski. There’s no narration or talking heads to
describe a development in country music. Appropriately, it’s a series of scenes
mainly featuring emerging singer songwriters
of the time (Guy Clark, Townes van Zandt, Rodney Crowell) performing
their songs, and discussing ordinary details of their lives – just like the
construction of their songs. The film is a mood piece and despite being about
ordinary details, the film itself is anything but. If you don’t feel moved
watching TVZ singing “Waiting Around To Die”, check your pulse.
Unfortunately, Tim and Wendi were not available, but Sticky and I were
joined by the wonderful and
knowledgeable Dave Mclemore (aka Davey Mac) who kindly shared his wealth of
knowledge and passion for this film with us. It was a terrifically enjoyable
episode to record. We hope you enjoy listening to it.
