From Chris: Fine documentary about Jay Bennett's career, the talented musician who drove much of Wilco's acclaimed '90s output, including Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. I'm a pretty big Wilco fan, so this doc was appreciated. Bennett was basically fired from Wilco after the album by its founder Jeff Tweedy. Wilco continued on, while Bennett's solo career afterwards slid into obscurity. He died in 2009 at the age of 45 from an accidental fentanyl leak from his pain patch.
Wilco is a major band still very much beloved today, so the lack of decent-looking concert footage in this doc is curious. It's all in windowboxed 4:3 SD, some of it camcorder footage.
