You Gave Me A Song: The Life and Music of Alice Gerrard
You Gave Me A Song offers an intimate portrait of old-time music pioneer Alice Gerrard and her remarkable, unpredictable journey creating and preserving traditional music. The film follows eighty-four year old Gerrard over several years, weaving together verité footage of living room rehearsals, recording sessions, songwriting, archival work, and performances with photos and rare field recordings. Much of the film is told in Alice’s voice and via interviews with musical collaborators and family members who share the story of Alice and others chasing that high lonesome sound.

Reviews
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
