Description
"The Orange Blossom Special" is one of the top 10 most-performed songs of the 20th century — a tune with an incredible history! THE ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL: THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN ANTHEM explores the evolution of this extraordinary fiddle tune, its colorful creator and the musicians who constantly reinvent it.
THE ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL: THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN ANTHEM uses no narration, but instead presents the sights and sounds of the bluegrass experience, exploring the musical tradition with some of America's greats including Bela Fleck, Charlie Daniels, The Del McCoury Band, String Cheese Incident, as well as the late Vassar Clements and Johnny Cash. It creates a journey as memorable as the song itself through original cinematography, concert and backstage footage, interviews with musicians and fans, and a diverse collection of archival stills, motion picture footage and vintage television broadcasts.
