Movie Reviews of Bluegrass Country Soul
Movie Review: Great reprise of 70's Bluegrass festival sensation
Summary: 4 Stars
Having attended a few festivals back in the 70's, I found this DVD to be a wonderful recreation of some of the ones I went to. Some of the budding "newgrass" groups (Bluegrass Alliance, for one) are on here, along with Earl Scruggs playing with his sons, after he left Lester Flatt who went on to put together the Nashville Grass. Chubby Wise, one of the happiest fiddle players is on here playing the Orange Blossom Special with Mac Wiseman - I'll never forget him when he was with the Nashville Grass at the Gettysburg festival in '73. When the band bus arrived, all the others got off with their instruments in their cases. Not Chubby - he had the fiddle under his chin and played and danced from the bus to the stage. There is a lot of good music on here, including the Country Gentlemen doing "Matterhorn" and "Fox on the Run." While I really enjoy modern bluegrass DVD's, this one does a good job of documenting the smaller, more family-like atmosphere of the early festivals. Recommended.Movie Review: Bluegrass Country Soul
Summary: 3 Stars
I definitely enjoyed the product but it wasnt exactly what I thought I was buying. I didnt like the commentary during songs and I definitely didnt like how they started showing the Country Gentlemen playing Matterhorn on the stage and then cut off it half way through the song.Movie Review: Region 1 restriction
Summary: 1 Stars
Why is this DVD (and many others only available in the U.S.) restricted to region 1? Does Time Life (and others) want to keep the bluegrass community neat and tiny? Why are people outside the U.S. and Canada not allowed to watch this dvd???Movie Review: History not entertainment
Summary: 1 Stars
The history provided was o.k., but the clippings were very old and the sound was not up to standard. Way too much of unprofessionl filming and talking about much of nothing. I didn't care for it at all, will sell cheap (very cheap).
