August 2014
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.
You
can download or subscribe to the podcast from iTunes, Stitcher or your podcast app of choice.

If
you were to be so kind, we’d be very grateful if you could give us
an iTunes review, and also let your friends know the show exists.
