Paste magazine has taken a shot at listing the top ten rock n' roll documentaries of all time. Note that Paste has excluded what it views as pure concert films. Thus, Martin Scorcese Last Waltz does not make the list. I think, however, that his PBS documentary on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home should have made the list.
Take a look and let me know if you have any additions.
Roberto, Hello, old friend. Nice to see your devotion to music has persisted through the decades. It's wonderful to be able to catch up on what you're listening to by visiting one convenient location.
ReplyDeleteWhaddya think of Billy Bragg?
Your friend,

ReplyDeleteGood to catch up with you too. Thanks for the first comment!
On Billy Bragg, I loved his early work, particularly Talking Poetry to the Taxman; may still have it around on cassette! I also loved Mermaid Avenue with Wilco, but then I love Wilco. Haven't really followed his career in depth. Any recommendations?
Also, checkout the piece on Ocean Rose and Jimmy Owens. Jimmy lives in Boston and performs in O'Leary's on Wednesday nights with a band called The Elements. Has a few blogs too. Try The Jimmy Show. You and Jimmy might hit it off.
Best,
Bob
