    Inspired by Carole King and James Taylor’s Troubadour reunion show in 2007, filmmaker Morgan Neville’s "Troubadours" is an informative documentary about a time in musical history that is often swept under the rug. Although music critics hated the singer-song writer movement that emerged in the late ‘60s/early ‘70s, as the film shows, it was a meaningful and influential movement. The legendary Troubadour club in L.A.—which launched careers of James Taylor, Carole King, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell and more unlikely characters like Steve Martin and Cheech and Chong—serves as the backdrop of the film. James Taylor and Carole King’s personal histories serve as the frame. The film features an impressive amount of archival live footage of the two and the overall feeling of the documentary matches the music—woody and organic. The interviews with the folks that experienced the Troubadour scene are intimate and often quite hilarious, like when David Crosby recalls how marijuana and hallucinogens inspired the movement but, “when we started doing coke and heroin things went to shit—as they often do.” Troubadours offers a nostalgic look back at a time when rock music took a deep breath.

    Troubadours (2011)

    All hail the Troubadour, the landmark West Hollywood nightclub that galvanized the late-’60s/early-’70s singer-songwriter scene, launching Carole King, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Kris Kristofferson, and Elton John (as well as comedians like Steve Martin and Cheech & Chong). As seen at Sundance last week, Morgan Neville’s pop-doc celebration features all of said boldfaced names and more waxing broadly about their early days at “the Troub,” with the obligatory vintage-concert footage and Ken Burns–style zooming and panning over scrapbook finds. The cinematic occasion is the club’s 50th anniversary, marked by a 2007 series of King and Taylor reunion concerts, slickly packaged together to wash over viewers like a sentimental, VH1-worthy pleasantry. The film is entertaining but hardly penetrating, and there’s something uncool about shaking the opening credits awake with the MC5’s “Kick Out the Jams” before ditching rock ’n’ roll sensationalism altogether. Not that we need to hear any more about David Crosby’s snorting habits, and Taylor was probably still a mellow, boring guy even as a hophead. But why isn’t Doug Weston, the Troubadour’s late owner and curatorial mastermind - dismissed here as a greedy, crazy huckster by those who owe their careers to him—the star of the show?

    It's a club whose name has become shorthand for a certain sound, and a certain vibe: The Troubadour. The intimate West Hollywood club, since its opening in 1957, has introduced some of the world's most acclaimed singers and songwriters to Los Angeles, and the world.

    Troubadours (2011)

    A new documentary about one of the most important partnerships to blossom at the club in the late 1960s and early 1970s, between musicians James Taylor and Carole King, will premiere this weekend at Sundance Film Festival, and Pop & Hiss offers you a first look at the trailer to the film,
    called "Troubadours." Directed by Morgan Neville, the film is subtitled "Carol King - James Taylor - The Rise of the Singer Songwriter," and provides a look into the Laurel Canyon and West Hollywood scenes that gave rise to artists ranging from Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell to Jackson Browne, Elton
    John and Harry Nilsson, among many others.

    Troubadours (2011)

    The film features interviews with important musical voices of the era, including former Times pop music critic Robert Hilburn; producer/visionary Lou Adler; actor/banjo player/comedian/writer Steve Martin; Kris Kristofferson; J.D. Souther; and Elton John.

    Troubadours (2011)

    It's been a good year for King and Taylor, whose 2010 American tour focused on the songs the pair worked out at the Troubadour 40 years prior. Their closeness and obvious affection for each other onstage struck a nerve among concertgoers, who helped make the tour one of the most successful of the year. Neville, a seasoned cultural documentarian with a passion for L.A. stories – his previous films include "The Cool School," about the Los Angeles art scene of the 1960s and '70, "Johnny Cash's America" and "Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story" – sought to capture the
    essence of King and Taylor's relationship for "Troubadours."

    After the film's premiere in Park City, Utah, it will be broadcast throughout March as part of PBS's American Masters series.
