Cert TBC Stars 4

Though perhaps best known in the UK for his 1987 solo hit ‘Somewhere Down the Crazy River’, but revered by film aficionados as the musical genius who picks the music for Martin Scorsese’s movies, Robbie Robertson gives a wonderfully engaging account of his early career in this important and hugely enjoyable music documentary.

As creative powerhouse of the group named simply The Band, it’s a not wholly surprising tale of alcoholism, drug addiction, car crashes and an acrimonious break-up.

Fans of Robertson like myself will love it, and for everyone else it’s an essential part of your music education
