...Sour Belly. While he was working with community organizations, he recalls, "Eagle Scouts came around with their long hair telling me they were not going to Viet Nam. I had a hard time arguing with them. It seemed to me that the world was changing quite a bit, and neither the CIA nor the Government was changing along with...
...brutal and mangy as it is, the movie still works. It is an adept and forceful B picture, deriving much of its energy from its own streamlined sleaziness and from the skills of its two stars, Elliott Gould and Robert Blake. Both of them have a kind of sour, dehydrated charm that is nicely used by Director-Writer Hyams, whose most notable previous effort was the screenplay for the noxious T.R. Baskin.

South African-born Writer Dan Jacobson built a small but solid reputation dealing with what he knew best: the politics and heartbreak of apartheid, the sour loneliness of race supremacy, and love shattered by cultural collision, and the moral and intellectual conflicts of exile.

...Sour Mash Boys and the Waylors complement each other--the famous part of the bill practiced and calm and in an easy category by itself, the local group sharp with nervous potential and playing straight conventional country. It's amazing that a truly quintessential country and the western band like John Lincoln Wright and the Sour Mash Boys could have risen up in a town where people's idea of a real cowboy bard is James Taylor. But Cambridge isn't entirely unfriendly terrain for a pure and healthy country music to grow in, for these musicians are students...
