Movies and TvShows featuring "high-lonesome-sound" theme.

Set in the heart of America in the 1930s. Walter Osgood (Louis Gosset Jr) is the only black man left in the town of High Lonesome that has been cleared by the overwhelming white supremacist beliefs. Having lost his entire family to them and not knowing where his young Son is or whether he is alive is what sets this movie apart from others

The Ballad of Bering Strait follows a Russian string band as they leave their homeland to pursue their dreams of making it big in the music industry in Nashville. The film explores their struggles, triumphs, and the challenges they face as they navigate a new country and try to break into the competitive world of country music.

GATHER AT THE RIVER points Mugge's cameras (and his sharply recorded sound) at the ongoing evolution of bluegrass, the 'high lonesome' music that is celebrated each year at the World of Bluegrass Festival in Owensboro, Ky. The 1993 event constitutes the entirety of Mugge's film, a generous feast of performance by the finest bluegrass musicians, punctuated by authoritative commentary about the past, present and future of bluegrass music… Pure magic.
