Searching For The Wrong-Eyed Jesus finds talent and personalities deep in the southern bayous and back-country hollows,... where you can also learn the recipe for moonshine.

Young @ Heart follows final concert preparations of the Young @ Heart Chorus in Massachusetts where the average age of members is 81.
and Afghan Star an Afghan television program airing since 2005 .... millions tuning in to Tolo TV's wildly popular American idol-style series. The contest is open to everyone across the country despite gender, and ethnicity.

This is a great list; ever since I saw "Nerdcore Rising" I've been interested in seeing more documentaries about musical artists. I like the blend of information and concert footage.
