That High Lonesome Sound

"The black-and-white 1966 documentary That High Lonesome Sound comes to DVD from Shanachie. The image is presented with a standard 1.33:1 transfer with audio available in Dolby Digital Stereo. The 70-minute program is actually a set of three films about American rural life and music by John Cohen. This disc profiles Appalachian music pioneers Roscoe Holcomb, Dillard Chandler, and Sara and Maybelle Carter. Also features Bill Monroe in concert. Highly recommended for those interested in bluegrass and old-time country."
