Troubadours


This engrossing documentary offers a poignant look at the LA music scene in the '70s, focusing on superstars James Taylor and Carole King, and how their careers were tied in to the evolution of the world-famous Troubadour club. Interviews and archival footage highlight the examination of how the music of the 1960s transformed into the more intimate songs made popular by singer-songwriters.

Great soundtrack, and very interesting to see that side of the music that we here on the East Coast didn't know too much about.

Worth the rent.
