Heartworn Highways Revisited

2021 marks the 45th anniversary of the seminal music documentary Heartworn Highways, a film that captured the nascent roots of the Outlaw Country movement in the mid-70s. Today, Heartworn Highways Revisited explores and celebrates the authenticity and spirit of that legendary film via a community of contemporary musicians creating music in Nashville, Tennessee. In Heartworn Highways Revisited, the filmmakers reunite with Heartworn originals Guy Clark, Steve Young and David Allan Coe while focusing on the next generation of “outlaws” including John McCauley, Jonny Fritz, Josh Hedley, Justin Townes Earle, Shovels & Rope, Langhorne Slim, Robert Ellis, Andrew Combs, Shelly Colvin, Phil Hummer and others who honor the traditions of their predecessors while forging a highway all their own.
