There a few interesting documentaries out. The Wrecking Crew about LA studio musicians. There’s one on Brian Wilson. 20 feet feet from stardom about back up singers. Laurel Canyon is interesting - its about the music scene there

I've seen all of these and lots more. I'm just a music movie junkie, I guess. Can't wait for the Peter Jackson movie about The Beatles.

The Laurel Canyon one with Jakob Dylan is outstanding.

I wanted the Laurel Canyon one to be more interviews and less "recreate the music". I'm sure there was far more interview footage that would have been more interesting.
YMMV. I actually liked seeing modern artists do the old songs.
would have preferred that to just be a separate movie. it felt very disjointed to me. glad you liked it though - a number of people probably did.
