My first thought on viewing Chuck Leavell: The Tree Man is, “Why did it take so long for this movie to appear?” I’m not referring to the three and a half years that Chuck and director Allen Farst took to make the film, I’m wondering why a film this great took so long to show up. I’ve seen plenty of rock documentaries in my many years, and this one honestly is one of the best rockumentaries you’ll ever see. So apparently, all the best things in music cinema aren’t in the past. As to the three-plus-year gestation period, Chuck states, “We interviewed and explored three or four documentarians, but Allen Farst proved to us that he really wanted to do it, and would put his heart and soul into the project, which he certainly did. Allen filmed us in many different settings and places around the world for three and a half years to get a full and clear picture of things…and then of course had to edit it down to 1 hour and 43 minutes. It was a monumental task for him, and he did an amazing job both in the raw filming and the editing.” READ FULL ARTICLE HERE
