Publisher Description:
American Music: Off the Record does the unthinkable. It asks musicians what they think about the record industry.

Because the film ignores pop culture icons in favor of older and less well-known artists the opinion is clear: the recording industry doesn't serve the music. The film is a rallying cry for musicians and artists in general. It denounces the corporate model of packaging art for the masses, as if it is a commodity to be bought and sold on the stock exchange. These rebel musicians are fighting for a chance to control their own destiny. They want to make music and make a connection with the audience. American Music: Off the Record seems to be able to make such a connection, and hopefully people will listen.
