Review of Sound City (2013) by Mark R — 11 Apr 2013
For his directorial debut Dave Grohl has picked a fascinating subject; Sound City studio and the records recorded there.
It's clear that Grohl has a love for the subject and this shines through, but he doesn't force himself into the story, even though Nirvana played a big part in it.
The story of the studio, the bands, the records, the people, and the world of digital music are all equally represented in the film. However, the biggest delight is the latter part of the film where Grohl rounds up a collection of the musicians who loved the studio to record a new album as the Sound City Players.
The sheer pleasure each of them have just jamming together and making a great rock record.
If you love music and listening to people talk about their passion for music then this is a great movie to watch.
