Fantastic accompaniment to Inside Llewellyn David, one star knocked off because the DVD doesn't show "Please Mr Kennedy" even though it was recorded, shame. Brilliant if you want to broaden your musical horizons folk wise

I enjoyed "Inside Llewyn Davis", but it was an average Coen brother's film. I had moderate expectations for this documentary-style film and was pleasantly surprised. The performances are all excellent, and a nice blend of stage performances, backstage improvisation and jam sessions, and recording sessions in the studio. The Punch Brothers and The Avett Brothers were standouts for me, but all the artists put their own spin on the tune they tackled.

One thing in particular I liked was that the editing was thoughtful, with no fast cutting, allowing the camera to linger on a performer for 15 to 30 seconds or longer for most of the shots. Compared to the way most live music is edited lately it was a nice surprise.

Excellent way to spend an evening. The performances were spot on & genuine. I can't stop watching it. It is acoustic music at it's very best & it introduces people to the folks who are young & continuing the tradition. A particular hat's off to T Bone Burnett, Marcus Mumford & Chris Thile. I also enjoyed seeing Joan Baez again who is still in good form. There was not one bad performance in the entire concert. The editing was seamless, cutting back & forth between the rehearsal & the concert: not a beat was missed. I was shocked at first to see Patti Smith (whom I adore) but her performance was flawless singing a Dylan tune. I had an ear to ear grin the whole time I was watching this concert. As a result of this concert I am now addicted to The Milk Carton Kids & Rhiannon Geddens. As my dear old mother used to say, "Try it. You'll like it!"
