All three appear in this segment along with Argot Pictures‘ Jim Browne, who is distributing the film. This Ain’t No Music covers a lesser known period in the history of roots music in this country. Appearances by Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Richard Thompson and others plus over 30 songs are featured in its soundtrack.
In the second segment, Swiss filmmakers Stéphanie Chuat and Véronique Reymond, discuss their film, a first feature, “Le Petite Chambre (The Little Bedroom)“.
