40 Nights of Rock & Roll

Welcome, friends, to the web log for upcoming documentary “40 Nights of Rock & Roll," a film by director Scott Sloan & former Paste magazine editor Steve LaBate.

On ragged Sunday afternoon, Scott and Steve find themselves at a honky-tonk called The Cedar Shake in Texarkana.

A family band called Four Wheel Drive is playing a benefit for a woman with lung cancer. At first, everyone eyes the strange travelers suspiciously, but by the end, they’re all loading the boys up with plates of potluck BBQ and mugs of frosty cold beer.
