The New Lost City Ramblers - Always Been a Rambler
Always Been a Rambler, directed by Yasha Aginsky, traces the journey of the New Lost City Ramblers, stars of the 1960s folk revival who pioneered the concept of urban musicians working side-by-side with authentic traditional musicians. They influenced generations of musicians, from folk-rock elder statesmen Bob Dylan and Jerry Garcia to the contemporary African American string band the Carolina Chocolate Drops.
A treasure trove of recently filmed and rare archival footage, photos and music, this film includes musical performances and interviews by the New Lost City Ramblers, Maybelle and Sara Carter, David Grisman, Pete Seeger, Ricky Skaggs, Doc Watson, Roscoe Holcomb, and many other masters of old time music. Produced by the Arhoolie Foundation. 58 min plus bonus footage.
BONUS FOOTAGE: 24 minutes (8 more songs) of a rarely-seen 1969 color film of the NLCR, plus never-before-seen 1959 footage of the NLCR with Tom Paley (2 more songs)
