Dick and I saw this movie today. The music is wonderful - ballads and some instrumental traditional Appalachian style. There isn't much plot, but go for the music. It is very well done. We did not realize Sheila Kay Adams was the music consultant until the final credits, but that definately explained why it was so good. Two outstanding singers were the young girl and the old woman. It was showing in a movie theatre that caters to foreign films and the like. This probably does not have mass appeal, but those mudcatters who appreciate traditional music should go see it, it the opportunity presents itself. Enjoy.
