A warm and feisty documentary that is as much inquiry as it is tribute.
This curious documentary is something rare, evincing opposites: It's both delightful and powerful.
The ballad as it turns out is a duet between a dad and his girl, who'd often rather accentuate the positive than exploit pain, quietly proving that she is her father's daughter.
What gives the story added insight - and detracts from it - is the personal quest of the filmmaker who bears the scars of having an itinerant rogue who was never around as a father.
An unusually rich music doc.
A rare treat for anyone interested in the American folk revival of early 1960s.
