    Quite simply a treat for the ear.

    Think of this movie as a glorified home video rather than a bitingly insightful documentary. But for Garcia and Grisman, this soft-shoe approach couldn't be more appropriate.

    It's to be expected that the music is going to be wonderful, and it is. But there is more to this film, a surprising amount more.

    It's like an 80-minute flip through the Grisman family photo album -- complete with live, unreleased soundtrack.
