Since 1978, Jandek has independently released over 120 albums, and yet few people have ever heard of him. This documentary about the veteran reclusive folk/blues artist is unlike most popular music documentaries, as the subject himself is not seen in the film in any way; instead, various critics, disc jockeys and journalists, many of whom have had some contact with the notoriously reclusive artist, discuss Jandek, his equally mysterious independent record label Corwood Industries, and his music. It’s a fascinating look at the longest-running, weirdest, loneliest enigma in popular music.
