Ten Superb Music Documentaries You Definitely Need to Watch Now
These all rock, even the ones that aren’t about rock
Last month I published an article about ten documentaries you need to see, and in that piece I mentioned my surprise that none of them involved music given that I am a huge music fan. I did say that ReMastered: The Two Killings of Sam Cooke and Springsteen’s Letter to You were next on my to-watch list, and I managed one of the two. Sadly, Letter to You is only available on Apple TV, and I refuse to pay for another streaming service, even for Bruce.
In any case, the lack of music in the last article just had to be corrected, and so this time it’s all music all the time, documentary style. The ones listed here all happen to be on streaming services I currently have, so I apologize up front if you don’t. Hopefully they’ll all end up free on YouTube at some point.
As with my previous list, the musical documentaries here cover a wide range of genres and topics, and some don’t seem like they would be all that compelling when looking only at the description. Interestingly, it was the ones I did not expect to like going in that turned out to be the best of the lot. Also as before, I list the platform I watched the show on; most are available on numerous platforms. Now on with the show.
