SoundSwap Round Table: 'Sound City': Film and Talk

For this week's SoundSwap Round Table, Port Washington Public Library's resident musicologist hosts a presentation and discussion of the music documentary 'Sound City'.

Deep in the San Fernando Valley, behind the train tracks and amidst dilapidated warehouses, was rock n' roll's best kept secret. Sound City, America's greatest unsung recording studio housed a legendary, one-of-a-kind recording console, and it became the birth place to some of the seminal albums that defined 20th century music. Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, and Nirvana were among those put magic to tape within the studio's walls. It was Rock n’ Roll hallowed ground.

Directed by Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) and featuring interviews and performances by the iconic musicians who made their careers in the studio, SOUND CITY tells the story of real rock n'roll history, and celebrates the human element of music, as Grohl gathers some of rock's greatest artists to collaborate on a new album. Using Sound City's legendary analog console, together they continue to create musical miracles in a digital world. Smart, affectionate, and unabashedly sincere, Sound City pairs a great soundtrack with a well-argued ode to one of rock 'n' roll's most fondly remembered bygone eras.
