D'oh! Randy must have gotten to the river lady before you then :)

The Stax Records story! That was so darn good, I watched it twice in a row.

Same deal with the Muscle Shoals doc. So what do you think about the singing lady in the river legend? Has she given...

The vocal episode (which I saw later last night, it was rebroadcast) was not the best. Why do a painfully long ten minutes on Cristina Aguilera and mere seconds on the Queen o' Soul?

The...

Did you like the program, Luv? I watched about 20 minutes but couldn't really relate. To me, Tom Waits sounds like Bruce Springsteen on his deathbed. Unique, yes. Someone I enjoy listening to, no...

I hadn't noticed a preponderance of British acts* but now that you mention it, the high profile given to Radiohead's producer would be somewhat unexpected in an American program.

I love Luther. Still can't quite believe he's gone. That was cool to see the kind of home movie footage of Bowie showing the back-up singers - including Ava and young Luther - how he wanted it done. ...

I saw the Bowie doc on VH1. I had read that it was very illuminating about the early sort of conceptualizing of his career/image and that his father helped him a lot. As I recall, there wasn't any of...

Last night's episode has interview segments with Lindsey and Stevie, plus what looked like home movie footage of Lindsey recording bits of Tusk in his house (including the bathroom!).

The first episode of Soundbreaking aired last night; next episode is this evening (dates/times may vary in your neck o' the woods).

Looks like tonight's episode could have Fleetwood Mac content,...

Oh wow. That sounds fascinating.

I'm not Soda, but I need to see that episode!

Shoot. There's also a Gene Clark doc, The Byrd Who Flew Alone, from a couple years ago that I still haven't seen. It sounds kinda grim. I guess that's...

P.S. Acclaimed music documentaries that are in my Netflix queue but I haven't yet seen: The Last Waltz; Janis: Little Girl Blue (I've become fascinated with Janis since seeing her on the Dick Cavett...

Those were excellent. I would also highly, highly recommend "Respect Yourself: the Stax Records Story." "Tom Dowd and the Language of Music" is a poignant story of the genius producer/engineer behind...

That was a good one, done by Henry Diltz and featuring interviews with a lot of his famous friends (Stephen Stills, Crosby, Van Dyke Parks) and non-famous, as well as the charming Henry himself. It...
