As a woman, I have written songs and when I write it's only ONE song at a time. But what Ireally wanted to comment about is the process for Rhiannon Giddens, a woman who possesses a unique and soulful voice that is its own embellishment. The collaboration in this film is magnificent and causes the viewer to muse about the true nature of a song.that the version we hear on a recording is just one of the many ways a song can be cast. 'Tears of Rage' about the nuclear detonation in China? I don't care what prompted him to write, but Bob Dylan's songs had that timeless quality and conveyed thoughtfulness about larger topics. But who knew that Bob was a compulsive writer and would translate what he felt about the day's news into a song. The songs that came from 'Big Pink' are anthems.

And Marcus Mumford has an uncanny ability to attract listening. Everyone knows Elvis Costello and thanks to the film maker for not making this a gawk-fest (and thanks for not pointing out Johnny Depp's participation) but who of the 'older generation' knows of Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James and Rhiannon Giddens.what a pity. Instead, I became intimately familiar with the song making process through the souls of some talented and unguarded singers and songwriters. As a Woodstock attendee and Dylan fan, I thought this would be about making the legendary Basement Tapes. This documentary is so inspiring and drove me to write my first review.
