9/10
Excellent Nostalgic Nashville

Across the street on Hillsboro Pike from The Bluebird Cafe, there was a full service Exxon gas station. I was a college student in my early twenties during the day and pump jockey nights and weekends, that was 1984-85. This documentary talks about The Bluebird Cafe originally being more of a mixed venue for up and coming new wave rock music artists but also some jazz and country entertainers. Because of the location, I was fortunate to meet and get autographs from those already well known. Back then, The Bluebird was not as overcrowded as shown in current modern times. It was easier to get in and one evening I got to see Don Everly play many of the hits he and his brother Phil were know for from the 50s and 60s.

What I liked the most in this documentary was how The Bluebird Cafe evolved into a place for singer song writers. All of the staff becoming like a family who were dedicated to the initiative of helping unknown artists an opportunity to realize their dreams. Besides seeing the artists who have gone on to be famous, there are many others. From a musicians point of view, I liked the fact that the performers were always part of the audience.

You will get to hear tons of clean acoustic guitar with a deep, warm and rich tones. The vocals with artistic emotional bends, highs and lows, that will make you feel the passion as it flows from their soul. Rated 9/10.
