Roots music icon Chris Strachwitz is a detective of deep American music - music that's the antithesis of the corporate "mouse music" dominating pop culture. Since 1960, he has been the guiding force behind legendary Arhoolie Records, bringing Cajun music out of Louisiana, Tex-Mex out of Texas, blues out of the country - and into the living rooms of Middle America. American music has never been the same. Born a German count, Strachwitz fled his homeland after WWII at 16. In the US, he discovered, and shared, a musical landscape that most Americans missed. He takes us on a hip-shaking stomp from Texas to New Orleans, Cajun country to Appalachia, as he continues his passionate quest for the musical soul of America.
Leave your thoughts about This Ain't No Mouse Music!.
| San Jose Mercury NewsJim Harrington"This Ain't No Mouse Music" works, in large part, because of Strachwitz's unbridled -- and some would say unrivaled -- enthusiasm for Americana music. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterIt’s Arhoolie’s musicians — Big Mama Thornton, Flaco Jiménez, Michael Doucet of the Cajun band BeauSoleil and others — who are the true stars. I dare you not to tap your feet. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlStrachwitz's enthusiasm — "This ain't no mouse music!" he's given to shouting — and a brace of choice anecdotes prove compelling on their own. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiThe narrative of Strachwitz as preserver of obscure music just repeats like a broken record with the introduction of each region, genre and musician. |
| User ReviewKit BWhat a fabulous, uplifting film! If you like American roots music, you will adore the wonderful performances. Chris Strachwitz (the focus) is a charmer. Being on the road with him visiting incredible people like Ry Cooder, Flaco Jimenez and the Savoy family was a treat |
| User ReviewDeirdre TMoving film with a rare opportunity to be in the same shoes as Chris...off on an adventure that will touch your heart as well as get your spine tingling. |
| User ReviewAndrew MA must see for anyone interested in great music. |
| User ReviewStephen Rcertainly worth a look ..the musical tale of the impassioned man Chris S. who travelled America finding profiling and sharing all manner of lesser known American musicians....mostly rural and ethnic...a well done portrait |
| User ReviewPerry DReally interesting and joyful movie about soulful musicians & music we know little about. |
