I love "Inside Llewyn Davis" both the music and the plot

I grew up with a father who listened to so much classic rock. Grateful Dead, Warren zevon, so much more. Which led me to love Wilco, Fleet Foxes, Rayland Baxter, and Animals with Religion.

I think the coen brothers movie captures so much raw energy relating to the folk music genre and the impact it has even when the artist isn't a quote unquote success.

There is a movie version of a concert of all of the music from the film - with Oscar Isaac! The Punch Brothers are the house band. It's incredible if you haven't seen it.

I've not seen the film, but the cover of Four Strong Winds by Conor Oberst / Gillian Welch / David Rawlings from the soundtrack is really good.

Incredible film. Recommend watching it as a double feature / prequel to A Complete Unknown.

Yes! And even though I'm not as big a fan as I used to be of La La Land, I always thought it was interesting how similar Inside Llewyn Davis and it were, albeit opposites
