"Dylan is so relatable-so human-on the Basement Tapes." While such recreations rarely work, the attention to detail and the empathy Jones has for his subject are not only apparent but enormously effective. The filmmaker shot in the Band's fabled Woodstock headquarters, "Big Pink," which he stripped back to late-'60s detail, recruiting actual musicians to play the roles of Bob Dylan and the members of the Band. One of the most interesting parts of the film is Jones's recreation of Dylan's sessions with the Band, narrated by Dylan himself. But rather than focus solely on those sessions, Jones also digs deep into Dylan's Woodstock days. The film captures some remarkable creative moments-as well as some of the inevitable roadblocks-that came out of the unusual situation and setting. Burnett gathered musicians Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James, and Marcus Mumford together for a two-week session in the basement studio of Capitol Records in Los Angeles earlier this year, with a brief to put new music to Dylan's words from 1967. Jones's film, a fly-on-the-wall documentary about the making of Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes, the T Bone Burnett-produced album using long-lost, newly discovered lyrics from Bob Dylan's legendary Basement Tapes era, which is out today.
