...Simon Kirke, likewise of that gloomily-concluded musical venture, join guitarist Mick Ralphs and bassist Boz Burrell with sax and flute icing by Mel Collins. Together they produce yet another collection of tight riffs--some might call them predictable--with a steady bass company and a highly-amplified guitar sound, usually controlled just short of distortion. They are not virtuosos in the mold of Cream members with their constant technical competition. Their compositions are hardly artistic innovations, either, with lyrical themes which don't stray far from the classic rock and roll love-them-and-leave-them (and occasionally...
...complimentary pass?" asks Barbara Kopple. She is fiddling with desk drawers in the Orson Welles. "No, sorry--it has to be signed," She shuts the desk abruptly. Kopple is the Academy award-wining director of Harlan County, USA, chosen last month as best documentary, and her credentials are impressive--sound woman on Hearts and Minds, camera, sound and direction on Winter Soldiers, and camera woman Gimme Shelter--all three classic documentaries of the 1970s.

The film is more accurate and coherent than the wonderfully rambling, episodic book on which it is based, and the recreation of the Depression-era dustbowl is understated and evocative. David Carradine doesn't look or sound very much like the real Woody, and at times he seems so cooly laid back that it's hard to see in him the burning curiosity, wanderlust, and stubborn passion for justice that come through in Guthrie's songs and writings. Ultimately, though, Carradine's Woody works because he captures...
...James Yannatos, HRO conductor/violinist. The two latter performers will perform in their latter capacity. Those expecting to hear the keyboard part played on a harpsichord should be warned that Vosgerchian has chosen to play instead on a piano, possibly compromising the sparkle of the fabulous cadenza cascades for a sound that is more suitable to Sanders...
