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

Top CriticThe music is grand, the performances are direct and Down From the Mountain is unpretentious in its presentation of both.

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

Top CriticLike the old-timey music that inspired it, Down From the Mountain is sweet, serene and utterly unconcerned with polish.

Top CriticThe whole experience is wonderful -- and this is a film to own on videotape, since you'll probably want to play these songs again and again.

Top Critic'This is stupendous,' participant Welch says of the concert. Spectators will feel the same way.

Top CriticValuable if only for its recording of a group of great and sadly unappreciated American musicians who have toiled far too long in relative obscurity.
09/07/01
Top CriticA superb concert film chock-full of thrilling musical moments and backstage peeks at some of America's finest roots artists.
