    I have long been aware of the quality of American documentaries, and this one is no exception. As with the Ken Burns documentaries, this one is a well-documented and delivered social history of the times as well as of the music and lives of these two men. The Depression was a terrible time for people across the world; what Australians could not understand was the ill-treatment of African Americans in the deep South, ill-treatment that lasted much longer than it should. This documentary outlines the struggle of poor people, and the fight for equality for women as well as for Afro-Americans. There is pathos certainly, however, the music transcends all, and is enhanced by the performers who also comment about the particular song or event the song celebrates or highlights. It's wonderful to see how many American performers have been influenced by these two men. Altogether, it is a happy and informative piece; and is worth putting on just for the music. A great tribute to them both.

    Works great - like new!
  • Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2006
    it's a little dated, esp. the little richard part, but well worth the money. john mellencamp's do re mi is fun, fulfilling, and true in spirit to woody. somehow, a synthesizer, 80s-esque little richard pulls off 'rock island line' and does leadbelly proud. i wished there would've been more 12 string leadbelly songs, but pete seeger does a fantastic job. arlo is spectacular as well. the whole thing is great. bruce takes creative liberties with vigilante man, making it menacing. for 10 bucks, its a steal. i wished they would've had a dylan performance though.

    I taped this show off cable sometime in the late 80's I think and somehow lost it. It was great to see it on DVD and the performances are great from beginning to end. Its a great tribute and presented extremely well. I recommend it to everyone, regardless of your musical interests. Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly, and the likes of them, are an important part of our human history, and simply don't exist anymore.

    Two revered members of the "old folk" community paired in one delightful program that brings back memories to those of us who heard them when they were living. The songs are about life and living during their day (and some of ours).

    Terrific homage performances by musicians who were honestly influenced by Woody and Leadbelly. I show it to students. Can't say enough good about this. Both these artists would be very proud to see and hear this DVD.

    I Love Music, these are two of my heroes. Great to see and hear more contemporary musicians and appreciators doing this tribute.
    A tribute obviously done with love and joy.

    Seeing this video is like being in heaven.
    It can be compared with documentaries like "Songs of the civil war" and "Bringing it all back home", to name a few. In all these documentaries the various artists put their best feet forward.
    Strangely enough these are seldom seen on tv.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr schöne Dokumentation über Woody Guthrie und Leadbelly
    Reviewed in Germany on February 25, 2010
    Die Dokumentation hat zwei der einflussreichsten Folk-Sänger der USA zum Gegenstand, wobei Woody Guthrie der in Deutschland weitaus bekanntere sein dürfte. Bei seiner Person liegt denn auch der Schwerpunkt, und es gelingt, durch zahlreiche Interviews mit Weggefährten (u.a. Pete Seeger) Leben und Ziele Guthries umfassend darzustellen (im Gegensatz zu dem thematisch vergleichbaren Spielfilm "Bound for Glory"...). Die Doku stammt von 1988, was z.T. die Auswahl der auftretenden Künstler erklärt (insbes. John Cougar Mellencamp, von dem allerdings eine großartige Coverversion von "Do Re Mi" zu sehen und hören ist) und auch die etwas lieblos wirkende Ausleuchtung der Interviews - das ganze wirkt doch ästhetisch sehr wie eine Fernseh-Doku aus den 80ern. Trotzdem - obwohl die DVD keinerlei Extras, nicht einmal deutsche UT aufweist, fünf Sterne, da die Coverversionen der Songs von Guthrie und Leadbelly ganz hervorragend sind und zahlreiche interessante Informationen über beide Künstler präsentiert werden.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent DVD - And Multi-Region, NOT Region 1
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2007
    I first saw this film on television some years ago and greatly enjoyed it. I bought the CD, which contains the music from the film, and have been watching to see whether a Region 2 version of the DVD became available. It didn't, so I thought I'd get the Region 1 version anyway, and although I wouldn't be able to play it on my current DVD player, my next player would probably be a multi-region model. Surprised and pleased, therefore, when it arrived, to find that the DVD is in fact multi-region and I can play it now.

    Thoroughly recommended - a 'must have' for all folk/Dylan/Guthrie fans.

    5.0 out of 5 stars これ無しでアメリカの音楽シーンは語れない
    Reviewed in Japan on January 5, 2010
    その昔、確かCBS-SONY発売のCDで聴いた事があるが、ビデオ(DVD)バージョンは遥かに良い。CD以上に「ライブバージョン」が意識されている事と、ピート・シーガー、アロー・ガスリー、ブルース・スプリングスティーン、U2のボノ、リトル・リチャード等のインタビューが秀逸。ライブバージョンの筆頭はリトル・リチャードのRock Island Line。おそらくスタジオ録音の際の最終リハ場面の録画であると予測されるが「最高」の一言。フォークシンガーのみならず、アメリカの多くのミュージシャンがロック、ブルース、ジャズに至るまでウディやレッドベリーの音楽に深い影響を受けている事が良くわかる見事な作品である。
