SOUND CITY [2013]


Sound City is a documentary by musician Dave Grohl and his love for the now defunct Sound City music studios.  The birthplace of classic albums by Nirvana, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Neil Young and many more, the film is more about the love of making music and collaborative creations rather than just the studio itself.  It's funny, interesting, heartbreaking, inspiring and most of all, filled with dedication to the musical craft and the people who do it right.  The flow of the film is a little messy but in the end it gets it's point across clearly in an entertaining fashion.
With Grohl being part of the band that made me pick up an instrument in the first place I already had a great respect for him and now with this film, that respect just skyrocketed even further.
