There is a rare phenomenon in creative endeavors where the "perfect" end result comes at the first try. Remember the song "Louie Louie" by the Seattle-based group The Kingsmen? Rumor has it that these guys went into a recording studio on a shoestring budget and ran through the song in one take. The vocals were done on the same track as the instruments, and sounded so distorted that you could barely make out the words. The result was...perfect! Phil Spector and George Martin and all the money in the world couldn't have produced a better result. Rare, but it happens.
Rare, too, is Goin' Down the Road. It is another low-budget phenomenon where all the elements gain a dazzling life of their own as the story unfolds. The shoestring production values have an ultra-realistic, "documentary" look that has to be seen to be believed. If you are not crying at the end of this one, you have no soul! A perfect gem of a movie that puts all but a few big budget Hollywood blockbusters to shame.
