Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell

a touching portrait of one of the most innovative musicians in modern music. includes some great footage of Russell in the developmental stages of his music from the early folk sounds to disco to ultimately the avant garde cello and voice work that he produced near his untimely death. the interviews provide insight into the life and struggles of one of the most underheard and underappreciated musicians of the past several decades, and provides a great entry point for any that want to familiarize themselves with his work.
