I went into this film wondering why I never picked up any albums by Jeffreys, and I came realizing that while I like his music and respect what he does, he isn’t someone I would ever listen to outside of a concert. That’s not a knock on the film, more a statement of personal taste.
As a film this look at the legendary performer is really good and painfully too short. Running around 75 minutes I would have been happier with more stories and more music. There is simply too much to the man and his music that I wanted to hear and see more. Again- that isn’t a knock, more a statement that Jeffreys is a hell of a performer with lots of stories to tell.
As it stands now this film is a wonderful celebration of a great performer who is wildly under appreciated.
