VA - American Roots Music (2001) 2xDVD9

Casting
its documentary net even wider than Ken Burns's Jazz series, American
Roots sets its sights on more of the nation's quintessential styles and
musical pioneers - affording context and continuity for viewers turned
on by the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. In this four-hour,
soul-stirring gumbo, just about every root gets its due, including
bluegrass (Ralph Stanley, Bill Monroe); blues (B. B. King, Charley
Patton, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson); country (Jimmie
Rodgers, the Carter Family, Hank Williams); gospel (Mahalia Jackson,
Thomas A. Dorsey); folk (Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Mississippi John
Hurt); Cajun and zydeco (Clifton Chenier); Tejano (Valerio Longoria,
accordion master Flaco Jimenez); and Native American (Floyd "Red Crow"
Westerman).

Celebrating these musicians and their contributions
are current artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Robbie Robertson, and Ricky
Skaggs (who also plays the neo-traditional series theme song). At times,
the project threatens to buckle under the weight of its task. But
producer-director Jim Brown -- whose previous work includes the
passionate The Weavers: Wasn't That a Time! -- and coproducer-editor Sam
Pollard are deft masters of subtle excavation. American Roots benefits
from the duo's command of history and resources, and their willingness
to connect the past (as Greil Marcus wrote of Harry Smith, "the old,
weird America") to current artists participating in the roots revival
movement.

To cure the excerpt fever that often befalls epic
documentaries, the two-disc DVD version of the series also allows the
viewer to eye some half dozen performances in their entirety. This, in
the end, helps American Roots to pack the force of a revelation.
