A beautifully done record of a very unusual event – and one that inadvertently serves as a testament to John Hartford, making it a very special document of musical history.

Now if you're looking for an in-depth study of the music, look elsewhere. This movie is strictly about the one event [a benefit concert (for the Country Music Hall of Fame 2001)].

Feels glossed over and incomplete.

Top CriticA film that's lovely to hear, though not much to look at.

In her performances and asides to the documentarians, it is Welch who best articulates why this music is so moving.

Has the ease of a casual get-together by musicians who enjoy jamming with each other and who give us the privilege to sit there and listen and watch.
10/27/01
Hardly a groundbreaking concert movie, but it's a creditably agreeable one.
10/25/01
A Polaroid sprung to life.

It's poor filmmaking, but wonderful music.
