Overview
Country singer Maury Dann lives life in the fast lane, counting on his rakish charm and raw talent to excuse his reckless behavior. Touring on the road in the rural south with his dedicated manager, his loyal driver and his long-suffering girlfriend, Maury seduces groupies, brawls and breaks the law, brashly relying on his team to cover for him. Heedlessly alienating all those who care for him, Maury blindly keeps the pedal to the metal.

Viewing Notes
Second film of the fest was from Micah (@ReelDistraction) and no shocker for him, a 1970s drama [he’s a huge fan]. It’s a film about a country musician, brilliantly played by Rip Torn, who is traveling across the south and leaving a swath of negativity and problems behind him.
I love Rip Torn and he’s one of the best character actors around now, so it’s nice to go back and see him shine in a starring role.
I was quite fond of this flick and honestly, it was probably the best made thing we watched that night. It also went over well with the crowd and I’m glad we watched it second, because it’s pretty heavy so later in the night it would of been tougher to give it the attention it deserves.
