ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TIME: INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS MUSIC IS INCREDIBLE

I was fortunate to catch a special running on Showtime this weekend about the Coen Brother's new movie "Inside Llewyn Davis", along with a concert "Another Day, Another Time", promoting the artists and music within the movie.
The movie is "loosely" based upon folk singer Dave Von Ronk, and the music scene in late 1961 in New York just before Bob Dylan hit the stage. Per music director T Bone Burnett, the lead character in the movie is not solely based on Von Ronk, but a compiliation of many similar artists at the time.
The Coen Brothers did a great job finding lead actor Oscar Isacc. I was immediately drawn to him when I heard his rendition of the classic "Hang Me Oh Hang Me". Isaac's soulful voice and finger picking guitar are a perfect combination.
The artists performing here are a vast list of great musicians including Marcus Mumford, The Punch Brothers featuring Chris Thile, and even Justin Timberlake continues to impress with his durability performing well here.
The concert also features Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch, The Avett Brothers, Jack White, Patti Smith, Rhiannon Giddens, The Milk Carton Kids, and Lake Street Dive. Each did a great job, hopefully introducing many to how beautiful the purity of music can be without techno enhancements.
One quote from the movie I loved...and it is the last words as the concert footage ends..."If it isn't new...if it isn't old...then it must be folk". Count me among the folk music lovers. Check this movie and concert out if possible.
