1999
Plot: A jilted university music professor finds a goldmine of undiscovered folk music in the Appalachian mountains.
Eric: Kelly may have appreciated the music and music history of this film more than me. For my part, I couldn’t get the Janis Joplin song “Mercedes Benz” song out of my head the entire time we were viewing it.
Kelly: Great, now I’ve got that song in my head. Oh, Lord, could you buy me, a Mercedes Benz… (Focus, Kelly.) I did enjoy this movie! I love how music is such a vital part of different cultures, and the idea that this woman would travel to the mountains of Appalachia to “catch” their songs is pretty cool. The music and the people in this movie allowed me to forgive some of the hokey plot lines.
Thanks for the review. I had never heard of this movie. I like Kelly's comments and will be sure to put this one on my list of "must see" films that I missed.
