WHO IS LYDIA LOVELESS @ 2016 St. Louis International Film Festival
Gorman Bechards entertaining documentary profile Who Is Lydia Loveless? thoroughly explores the titular question. Is she a singer/songwriter, an alt-country queen, a cow punk, or a hard rocker? The second coming of Hank Williams or Patti Smith? Or just a bubbling cauldron of hormones and emotions holding steadfast to the ideal of keeping rock & roll alive? Whats indisputable is Loveless status as an absolutely fascinating character: tough, outspoken, profane, and hugely funny. A farm girl with defiantly iconoclastic parents, Loveless played in a family band with her sisters and father before going solo while still in her teens. The film follows Loveless eventful life and career in roughly chronological fashion shes still only in her mid-20s but also cleverly organizes itself into chapters that focus on each of her four band members. Beyond that biographical material, the documentary features a handful of amusing animated interludes, a trove of hilarious rants by Loveless, and a truly glorious abundance of music, including complete songs from a 2015 show that helped introduce her recent album.
