Movie Reviews of Bluegrass Roots
Movie Review: Americana
Summary: 5 Stars
Unbelievable artists depicted in this film. Over the river and through the woods the old dirt road leads us deeper into the back country of 1960s
Carolinas. These people knew how to party! Dancing, singing and some mean fiddle playing. Who knew such spirit and TALENT could be found out there.
