OK - just.Mar 05, 2006
By Chez
"eshem"
This DVD would have been ok if I'd bought it for $5, but unfortunately, the four artists I bought if for - namely, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Buffy Sainte Marie - all together hardly made up five minutes of the video. Apart from that - the video starts badly, but picks up as it goes along. There are a few interesting moments, but the balance of time allotted to each artist seems totally askew. There's about 15 minutes devoted to each of the first artists covered, which makes the one minute mini coverage of others an absolute crashing disappointment, and perhaps colours my opinion of the merits of this DVD. I had assumed that Leonard Cohen would be 'the main man' due to the title, which comes from one of Cohen's songs. Just goes to show - never assume. As they say - it makes 'an ass of u and me'.
The Long List of Canadian MusiciansOct 08, 2009
By Zarathustra Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell and Glen Gould are on the short list. Add Gordon Lightfoot for The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald. The Band has a DVD which is #1 on Rolling Stone's list. But Lenny Breau and Wilf Carter? Who would have known who they are? It is a long list, but the DVD would have been much better if they had thrown in some performances by the ones we know instead of short clips of The Crew Cuts, The Four Lads and others at the bottom of the list. Still, the DVD is worth a viewing if you're really into kitsch.
