As someone who has made 5 (going on 6) music documentaries, I tend to be very hard on them. And the live performances of Dalton that they have managed to find will take your breath away. The look of the film, as if it were found in some old box that had been sitting on a closet shelf for 5 decades perfectly matches the tone, the subject. The people in her life who tell her story, are honest and caring. Using singer Angel Olsen to bring Dalton's poetry to life is a stroke of genius. What we have here is a truly stunning documentary that somehow, with no Karen Dalton to interview, gives us a very complete portrait of a complex and brilliant artist. Thankfully filmmakers Peete and Yapkowitz do that for us.

#Pharrell in my mind documentary crack#
I became obsessed with this voice that sounded as if it could crack and fall apart from pain in one moment, and then soar the next. I searched out Karen Dalton while reading Bob Dylan's autobiography, and his comment that she could sing like Billie Holiday and play guitar like Jimmy Reed.
