Unlike any movie you'll ever see, Songcatcher (filmed in the mountains around my home in Asheville, NC, while not being explicitly true to details, gives an historic view of how folk song from Western Europe (esp, England, Ireland & Scotland) came to the East, from which it eventually spread across the country. We who love these kinds of songs---if not necessary the old way of singing them entirely (some, from round-abouts still carry tinges of the old, esp. in guitar, banjo & fiddle and are hugely popular. The beauty of our area should captivate you. The story absolutely should. And of course, Janet McTeer is brilliant in anything she does. Aiden Quin does a great job (as always) & is the man-candy for us ladies.
