 | | Various Artists Heartworn Highways DVDPrice: $29.95 James Szalapski's famous documentary about the rebirth of country music around Austin and Nashville in the mid-70s, featuring Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, John Hiatt, Charlie Daniels, Rodney Crowell and David Allen Coe, amongst numerous others. When this film about the up and coming "Outlaw" country musicians was made in 1975 it was simply a film about the other side of the genre, but as years have passed almost all of the players in the picture have gone on to be stepping stones in modern music. The film can now lay claim to featuring genuine country music legends at a time when they were young, hungry and relatively unknown. The direction and photography of the film show the artists in their homes, hanging out, playing together and performing for intimate friends, something that gives us a rare insight into the lives of these seminal figures. EXTRAS: The extensive never before seen bonus material includes over an hour of exceptional additional footage, and the deluxe packaging features a transcribed interview with Director James Szalapski.
