Garth Brooks: The Road I'm On - Nick's Picks Vol. 2 Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Nick's Pick's Vol. 2, in which we invite our Very Special Guest and returning champion Nick McCann on to discuss any documentary he chooses.

Today's documentary is Garth Brooks: The Road I'm On, released in 2019, directed by Al Szymanski.

This doc is a two-parter from the A&E Biography series. We all went into this episode not knowing that much about Garth Brooks and boy did we learn some life lessons. Garth is maybe the most interesting character we've encountered in the Rock Docs journey so far. Don't sleep on this one, folks!

Michael Des Barres - Who Do You Want Me To Be? Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

Today we're joined by Michael Des Barres, who is the 26th Marquis Des Barres if you're keeping track. He's the subject of the documentary "Who Do You Want Me To Be?" (J. Elvis Weinstein, 2020).

There's no simple way to sum up Michael's wild and eventful life, but here's a start: the son of a junkie aristocrat and a schizophrenic showgirl becomes a master of reinvention on a 50+ year journey through rock and roll, TV, and movies.

As you'll hear, Michael is an open book and was nice enough to come on and share tons of rock and roll stories along with his thoughts about music and everything else under the sun.

Moonage Daydream (David Bowie) Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

Rock Docs: A Podcast About Music Documentaries

Today's documentary is Moonage Daydream, released in 2022, directed by Brett Morgen.

Moonage Daydream is about David Bowie. It was released with the approval of the estate of Bowie, although Morgen was given final cut. The audio was mixed by Bowie's longtime producer and collaborator Tony Visconti. Befitting its subject, it stands out from most of the more conventional rock docs.

The Last Waltz with Tyrell Lisson of The Band: A History Nov 22, 2022

Show notes

You may have heard of today's documentary, The Last Waltz, featuring The Band. The documentary was directed by Martin Scorsese and released in 1978.

For this episode we are joined by Very Special Guest Tyrell Lisson of the podcast The Band: A History. Tyrell is the official (unofficial) world's expert on The Band and he has lots of insight to share with us.

So - does The Last Waltz deserve its place as possibly the most highly rated rock doc of all time? How do the various superstar guests (Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, our girl Mavis Staples, etc.) rank? Does Eric Clapton suck? And what about the controversial appearance by The Jewish Elvis, Neil Diamond?

All this and much more on today's Thanksgiving episode of Rock Docs.
