Outlaw Blues

Everybody likes singing troubadour prisoner Bobby Ogden (Peter Fonda). When performer Garland Dupree (James T. Callahan) comes to sing in the prison, Bobby is invited to sing his song. Soon after, Garland had stolen the song and it becomes a big hit. Bobby is released from prison and confronts Garland. Garland is accidentally shot with the police chief's gun. Bobby goes on the run. A film crew captures the incident. Backup singer Tina Waters (Susan Saint James) happens to have proof of Garland stealing the song.

It's terribly convenient for Bobby to be hiding out in Tina's boathouse. It needs to somehow figure out that part of the plot. A little rearranging could make it make more sense. Peter Fonda is pretty good and the chemistry with Susan Saint James is great. I really love the record store scene. It follows that up with the solid country bar scene. Instead of the simple fugitive chase action, it does run into a muddle. It needs to end in a different way. Nevertheless, it's a fun little movie.
