A must see wonderful movie!
This inter racial movie represents love for real musicians and people. It’s about the development of the civil rights movement and the essence of Soul music. If you love music from Memphis, Stax, Hi records and artists that can perform their art on the spot then go see this movie. The movie is an emotional roller-coaster with singers like Otis Clay, William Bell, Mavis Staples and Bobbie Bland collaborating with Snoop Dogg, Lil P-Nut, The North Missisipi All-Stars, Yo Gotti and many more great artists. It’s a must see wonderful movie! Never before in the world of cinema a movie was made about the people that actually raised and developed the Stax studios and music label. Here is the story told by the people who were involved and told in a way that no actor could act. It’s rough and it’s tough,but more then touching. You can almost smell the air of Memphis, because of the beautiful camera shots, close ups and images of surroundings and legendary music studios like Stax and Royal Studios where most of the music was recorded. The music is like the movie. Soothing your soul and make you want to turn it again and again.
Low-Key Documentary is Informative & Enjoyable
This documentary, directed by Martin Shore and narrated by the actor Terrence Howard, is really a low-key and congenial film, that brings together some of the musical legends of Memphis and the Mississippi Delta, and pairing them with some of the younger artists of today, for the purpose of making an innovative type album. In addition to Shore, the coordination is done by Luther and Cody Dickinson, the sons of the late Jim Dickinson, an acclaimed musician and record producer.It will all develop into what one might call relaxed jam sessions, as these revered recording artists get to reminisce about the past, as well as meet and perform with the younger generation, including rappers and hip hop performers.
They’ll also be a look at some of the history of Memphis music, and how many of the bands were integrated, such as Booker T. & the M.G.’s, despite prohibitive segregation laws in the South, Also, the history and demise of Stax Records, in Memphis, is covered, and its subsequent re- emergence as the Stax Museum and the Stax Music Academy and Charter School, to help aspiring young musicians.
Overall, despite some slow spots and the low-key nature of the movie, there’s plenty of wonderful music to enjoy, and I also found it to be quite informative as well.
