Troubadours

A deluxe boxed set containing three DVDs, each focusing on the life and music of one of the most beloved, albeit sadly late, acoustic troubadours. Nick Drake - Under Review is a 90 minute documentary film which goes some way to unravelling the mystery of this enigmatic singer-songwriter, who passed away at the age of just 26. With the aid of those who were close to Nick, those around at the time and those who have studied and written about Drake in depth, with the aid of his music, this program discusses, dissects and appraises Nick's life, music and astonishing, albeit short, career. Tim Buckley - The Ultimate Review is a documentary film reviewing the music and career of one of America's most influential artists, composers and vocalists. Despite Buckley's tragic early death at the age of just 28, his legacy resonates more loudly with every new generation, and he is name-checked by artists as diverse as Radiohead, Cocteau Twins and REM. Tim Buckley is as relevant today as he ever was and his original brand of music - incorporating folk, jazz, funk, blues and all manner of other genres - made for as unique a style as any contemporary artist has ever accomplished. Sandy Denny - Under Review is a documentary film reviewing the music and career of arguably Britain's finest ever female vocalist and songwriter. Although Sandy is revered deeply amongst fans of folk music and the 'singer-songwriter' genre, she has never received the universal acclaim so long overdue and so often heaped on those of a lesser talent. This program attempts to redress this imbalance and reveal why she remains such an inspiration to so many.
