Man In The Sand (2002)

Muzikale documentaire waarin we tevens 20 songs uitgevoerd zien worden. "This documents the fascinating efforts of Bragg to give tune to previously unrecorded Guthrie lyrics. Along the way, he picks up sometimes uneasy collaborators Wilco. Guthrie's daughter Nora is the chief narrator. She and Bragg show an unmatched admiration and respect for the life and times of the legendary folk singer. The documentary captures Bragg revisiting Guthrie's haunts and friends; in recording sessions; giving live performances, with and without Wilco, of material that would later be released on "Mermaid Avenue 1 & 2"; and going about his daily life and business activities. At times, the film has the feel of an archival series of interviews with Guthrie friends and family. Filmed sessions for Bragg's adaptation of "Ingrid Bergman" and Wilco's take on "Another Man's Done Gone" are particularly sublime. Fans of Guthrie, Bragg, or Wilco will be captivated by the sights, sounds, and emotional honesty." (Tim DiGravina, Allmusic)
