High Lonesome - The Story of Bluegrass Music
Opening sequence from the feature documentary by Rachel Liebling.

New York Times review by Janet Maslin:

"High Lonesome: The Story of Bluegrass Music" is one of those enthralling documentaries that draw their heretofore-unexplored subject matter with supreme ease. You need not have the slightest interest in bluegrass music to find this film a fascinating bit of Americana, a patchwork of historical, moral and cultural influences that conspired in creating an unusually pure American folk tradition.

Rachel Liebling, who makes this an exceptionally enterprising musical portrait, communicates vast, toe-tapping enthusiasm for her material. She also displays prodigious research, as well as a deep understanding of the forces that conspired to create bluegrass...this is music to make the spirit soar.

  • Tell you what!

  • What happened to the day of family singing & reading scripture together? There was a time when family stuck together & sang together.

  • This documentary had a profound effect on me when I was a little girl. I think they should show it in schools to teach kids about the roots of American Music. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for bluegrass music.

  • just bought de dvd for my dad...I can't wait to watch it!

  • I'm Filipino and i appreciate bluegrass music. I first heard it when i was young watching the movie called "Deliverance"...i was tapping my feet to the "duel" scene...awesome music!! I've been listening to them ever since...

  • the late Jimmy Martin was a good friend of mine and as a songwriter I write a lot of high lonesome bluegrass..a great video.

  • @superisrephel The frog dance is actually called "clogging". A form of dance that evolved from traditional Irish/UK dance that was brought to this country by immigrants who settled in Appalachia. Learn before you speak.
