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.
