Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, and Buddy Guy are merely a few of the dozens of superb guitarists who've sworn their loyalty to the bright tone and comfortable feel of Fender electric guitars, such as the Telecaster and the Stratocaster. This instructional video, featuring Jim Weider (who has played with Johnny Paycheck, the Cate Brothers, and the Band), demonstrates how a number of his favorite guitarists -- including Steve Cropper, James Burton , and Roy Buchanan -- learned to work their magic with Fender gear, using a variety of vintage instruments to demonstrate. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
After winning an Academy Award for their documentary Down and Out in America (1986), actress-director Lee Grant and her producer-husband Joseph Feury filmed this comedy-drama based on an original script by playwright Monte Merrick. In a small Southern town, the McDermott family has owned and operated a popular chicken restaurant for years. Each of the three McDermott boys, Brian (Tim Quill), Kit (Dermot Mulroney), and Duncan (Sean Astin) expects to inherit part of the business from their father (Jim Haynie). While enjoying liberal amounts of skirt-chasing, marijuana-smoking, and alcohol consumption in their off hours, the McDermotts have big plans for the place, but then dad drops a bombshell -- he's sold the restaurant without consulting his family, leaving each son to struggle with his newfound, unwanted independence. In the meantime, mom (Melinda Dillon) considers reuniting with her old band. Because of the bankruptcy of its producer, Hemdale Film Corporation, Staying Together (1989) was shelved for over a year before its release. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi
