Summary:
"Les Blank considered this free-form feature documentary about beloved singer-songwriter
Leon
Russell
, filmed between 1972 and 1974, to be one of his greatest accomplishments. Yet it has not been released until now. Hired by
Russell
to film him at his recording studio in northeast Oklahoma, Blank ended up constructing a unique, intimate portrait of a musician and his environment. Made up of mesmerizing scenes of
Russell
and his band performing, both in concert and in the studio, as well as off-the-cuff moments behind the scenes, this singular film - which also features performances by Willie Nelson and George Jones -- has attained legendary status over the years. It's a work of rough beauty that serves as testament to Blank's cinematic daring and
Russell
's immense musical talents."--Container.
