The Widow Jane Mine, in upstate New York's Catskill Mountains, was the location for the making of the experimental music CD, From the Caves of the Iron Mountain. The CD features the work of Steve Gorn on flute, Jerry Marotta on drums, and Tony Levin on bass. The three musicians have incorporated the sounds inside the Widow Jane Mine cave into the recording. Flute, drum, and bass are intertwined with the humming of crickets and dripping of water into a minimalist, mystical vision. This documentary follows the recording process, from rehearsals held in Woodstock to the actual sessions inside the mysterious depths of the mine. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi

The struggle of a has-been singer to work his way back up the charts is the focus of this drama by Robert M. Young with screenplay and music by Paul Simon. Simon plays Jonah, a once-popular singer who now opens for punk rock bands. In the ten years since he had a hit song, Jonah's wife has divorced him, but he still sees his young son as often as he can. With his record company on his back to come up with something that sells, Jonah begins to compromise his own talent when he listens to the advice of a trendy producer. Whether or not he can straighten out his personal life and steer his own ship may depend on his ability to trust his own judgment and adjust to the changing times. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
