Thread Name: Standing in the Shadows of Motown
Subject: Review: Standing in the Shadows of Motown
Ok, I admit, it's not folk music. But is it ever good music. I just got done watching the DVD of "Standing in the Shadows of Motown", the documentary about the Funk Brothers, who were the house band in Studio A of Motown Records and were responsible for the Motown sound. After years of being ignored, they have finally been recognized for their accomplishments. The only downside I see in the whole movie is the realization that these old men could outplay me any day they choose, and twice on Sunday. If you get the chance, watch, listen, and turn green with envy. These guys can play!
