Music documentaries by PruettC

Dr. John, Neil Diamond, and Ringo Starr are among the guest performers featured in this movie, much of which was filmed on (American) Thanksgiving Day in 1976.

Filmmaker Tom Berninger decided to tag along on tour with his brother's band, which led him to direct 2013's "Mistaken for Strangers." Name the band.

"Who Took the Bomp?" (which follows a tour with former band Le Tigre), and "The Punk Singer," (a more comprehensive life story), both focus on this activist and performer.

'Before there was punk,' says the tagline for a 2012 film, the Hackney brothers formed this Detroit band. Its morbid name helped keep the act from taking off in the 1970s, but the surviving members have since reunited for live shows.

"Fallen Angel" tells the story of this influential crossover artist, from birth in Florida in 1946, through quitting one band mid-tour (either to protest apartheid or hang out with the Rolling Stones), and ending with an extremely unorthodox 1973 funeral.

A film covering a disastrous 1982 tour documents this West Coast act when its lead singer was about to go into drug rehab, and members Dennis Danell and Brent Liles were still alive. (In better news, the singer got clean and still tours with a reconstituted version of the band).

While director Barr Weissman was assembling "Secret to a Happy Ending," guitarist Jason Isbell parted ways with the group -- necessitating a different, well, ending, to the story of this Alabama-based band.

This Boston band split in 1983 because its loud stage shows aggravated one member's hearing problems. A documentary subtitled "Not a Photograph" chronicles a 2002 reunion that led to 4 (and counting?) more studio albums.

Judith Hill, Merry Clayton, and Darlene Love are among the performers profiled in this Oscar winning documentary, which focuses on an underappreciated role in the music industry.

The 2014 release of "Time is __" honored the 20th anniversary of the title album, the studio debut of a then-teenaged rapper. Name the album, which reflects the artist's experiences growing up in Queens.

A Netflix-produced documentary heavily featured this 1964 song, which got the artist upset (though not surprised), when it was banned in several states -- ostensibly because its title contained profanity.

Released in 1988, the year this singer/instrumentalist died, "Let's Get Lost" contrasts footage of its subject's performances beside jazz greats of the 1950s, with the 'seamy looking drugstore cowboy' he had become.
