Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For any Jimmy Martin fan or bluegrass fan for that matter, this is a movie to own. He's an interesting character and this movie proves it. He reminds me a lot of my late grandfather(my dad's dad). I was thoroughly impressed with this movie. It was so good to see Jimmy "in action". It shows that Jimmy is not just someone who has become a parody of himself or someone else, he's still a bluegrass/country "artist" after all these years. I had the privilege of seeing Jimmy at the bean blossom bluegrass festival in 2002, but it was great to see an in depth look at the man behind "the legend". I don't think you'll be disappointed with this film. Mr. Goehl worked very hard on it, and it shows. I just hope he can someday make a sequel!!! :-)
