These songs and the narratives connecting them are a journey along these beautiful rivers, and the river of life, with the music, visuals, and aerial dance adding a kaleidoscopic palette that broadens the film's emotional landscape to something beyond what words and music alone can convey. Starting at Nashville's Cumberland and weaving south along the Mississippi and Tallahatchie, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe River introduces viewers to muleskinners, coal miners riverboat gamblers, freedom fighters, and the late musical giants of North Mississippi blues. It also essays the omnipotent, timeless magic of the rivers themselves, and the cities and rural outposts along their endless waters. Coyote Motel--Drozdowski on vocals, guitar and diddley bow; Sean Zywick on bass; Kyra Lachelle Curenton on drums; Luella on vocals, guitar, and percussion; and Laurie Hoffma on Theremin and glockenspiel--cast a sonic spell that's both otherworldly and deeply rooted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINCLUDES SONG PERFORMANCES: \u003cbr\u003e1) Tupelo 6:03, 2) Black Lung Fever 4:46, 3) Keep Me in Your Mind 3:18, 4) The River Runs Forever 3:25, 5) Long Distance Runner 7:12, 6) Trouble 3:04, 7) Homegoing 4:08, 8) Still Among the Living 4:32, 9) Down in Chulahoma 3:57, 10) The River 6:14 (All songs by Ted Drozdowski except Homegoing, which is public domain.)\u003c\/p\u003e         \u003ch2\u003eMedia\u003c\/h2\u003e         \u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GsDnn8xHJKA?si=\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e        \u003ch2\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with Ted Drozdowski (Writer) and Richie Owens (Director) about the making of the film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Set Photo gallery \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Music video for the song 'Still Among the Living' (recorded in 2018)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCast \u0026amp; Crew\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Coyote Motel as The Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Ted Drozdowski as Himself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Sean Zywick as Himself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Kyra Lachelle Curenton as Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Luella as Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Laurie Hoffma as Herself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Suspended Gravity Circus as The Dancers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Bailey Freeman as Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Paige Muirhead as Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Emilia Airheart as Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Tiffany Barrett as Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Yuki Block as Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Darling Lucifer as Self\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Bonnie Aldcroft-Curran as Production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Daniel Curran  as Production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Richie Owens\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ted Drozdowski\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laurie Hoffma\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dolly Sez Woof\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Documentary\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 06\/10\/25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 760137174684\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"DOLLYSEZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46295824564473,"sku":"DSW-007","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/DSW-007.jpg?v=1741032198","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/the-river-a-songwriters-stories-of-the-south-dvd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
