Learned a lot about 2 of the greatest southern bands, Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Very well made and with the musicians that were there. Where the Allmans and the Van Zands came from and how they lifted up the South of the USA musically when that part was not considered relevant nor productive; it was considered racist (Governor of Alabama George Wallace stating in public that "segregation will be forever")plus the Redneck fame. Highly recommend this movie. The music is great and sounds great. Very well directed. Would like to find it in DVD or Bluray as the YouTube image quality is not the best; even the BBC4 trailers have the same poor image quality.

this movie has great songs by Rocio Durcal and Enrique Guzmán. Good acting by all involved and the editing of the movie is fast, accurate and enjoyable. I have a VHS copy which is not in very good state but has seen a DVD advertised in Spain; would like to have that DVD. The director has made quite a lot of this type of movies with Rocio and other Spanish and Latin actors; he knows how to present the funny parts in the screen keeping also the music of the actor as part of the plot. the camera moves a lot and angles look very nice and smooth. "Acompañame" was a huge hit in America, specially Central and South America and even among the Spanish population in the States. This type of DVD would really sell well in America, it's a pity there's very little interest or lack of vision to market them here. Great entertainment with this movie!
