The End of an Old Song (1969)
Directed by John Cohen
“I recall back instead of going forward.”
Documentary, Music · 30m
John Cohen, founding member of the ‘50s folk troupe the New Lost City Ramblers, started making films in order to bring together the two disciplines he was heavily active in: music and photography. The End of an Old Song brings us to North Carolina, and demonstrates the power of old English ballads sung with gusto while soused in a saloon.
