Movie Reviews of Gather at the River - A Bluegrass Celebration

Movie Review: An Interesting Compilation
Summary: 4 Stars

Some of the songs on this DVD:
Shall We Gather at the River (Peter Rowan & Hazel Dickens)
That High Lonesome Sound (Nashville Bluegrass Band, Peter Rowan)
Duncan and Brady (Johnson Mtn. Boys)
Ramshackle Shack (Doc Watson)
When I Paint My Masterpiece (Tim O'Brien & Del McCoury)
Father I Stretch My Hand to Thee (Nashville Bluegrass Band)

Mountain Folks (Ralph Stanley)
Wheel Hoss (Bluegrass Youth All-Stars)
The Church Steeple (Tim O'Brien)
Queen Anne's Lace (Del McCoury)
Walls of Time (Peter Rowan & the Panama Red Riders)

Interesting things about this DVD:
1. You get to see a young Alison Krauss playing with Doc Watson & the Nashville Bluegrass Band!
2. The Bluegrass Youth All-Stars (Cody Kilby, Michael Cleveland, Chris Thile, and others) show you just how good those guys were even back then.
3. You get to see what bluegrass sounds like in Russian. :)

The fault I found in "Gather at the River" was that there aren't enough chapters so it's hard to navigate. You have to pretty much memorize the order of the songs to find, for example, "California Traveler." That's a remake by the band California of "Arkansas Traveler," and it's so incredible I kept wanting to go back to it, but there's no chapter for it.
There's quite a bit of talking on this DVD, also. But that's what you want if you're really interested in the background of this music and what makes it tick.
