This series is great. I discovered it on Netflix thinking it was a film. It was a nice surprise to find it was actually a full series. I am a fan of the Foo Fighters, but, you don't need to be to enjoy the series. They visit some of the most famous cities in the USA and explore their musical histories. There are interviews with too many people to list here and every main genre is covered. The Foo Fighters record a song in each city, inspired by the history of that city and then perform it at the end of each episode. If you love music I highly recommend this.

This program is a showcase of more than just American music. This entire miniseries is a celebration of American culture and very distinct style to their music. The album itself isn't half bad either, with every song fitting the city well. Dave explores all the outlets to show the evolution and unity of out singular culture, giving us a loving tribute from a man in the business. The series has a little something for everyone, with every style represented in every city. The editing is beautiful, the cities are chosen well (though I personally would have included Atlanta, Detroit, and maybe San Francisco as well), and the songs are great. It's just a brilliant salute to our nation all around.

If you watched Dave Grohl's Sound City you already know how this is gonna go: You will be taken to a time where auto tune didn't exist, where the musician had to be great because he was great, not because he had a good producer that know's his way with a computer. He interviews music legends, and a lot of the episode revolves around Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters... You see how much they influenced Chicago's music community... You also get to know how Dave's love for Punk Rock started, and we thank his cousin Tracey Bradford for that, we wouldn't have Foo Fighters, and Nirvana as we know it if it wasn't for her. We also get to see how the interviews influenced the lyrics of the songs, we get little pieces here and there, and in the end, it all makes sense!I can't wait to see what it comes next, what will happen in New York, California, Texas, Washington and so on.

In a day and age where social networking and other new-age website mediums are pointing a middle finger to artists who struggled to get where they are, Sonic Highways restores the inspiration that is slowly being lost. Today, the music world is being hacked by those who believe views from those looking into a computer screen is the best gratifying experience. The world of musicians only playing music for their own ears is getting lost into history. Now, people are wanting cameras around every note being played, so they can become the next online star who obtains the spotlight for a short amount of time.Dave Grohl begins this incredible journey by taking us to the old blues and punk rock routes of Chicago. He establishes the fact that many of the musicians didn't expect to gain a bigger audience than the 50 people crammed inside of a local club, or those listening on the side of a street. This is what I personally enjoy; fellow musicians who can enjoy music, without ever expecting it to leave the room. The gratification of playing it for a small amount of people, or just for yourself is greater than millions of views.Though the caparison to the online digital age isn't addressed, the feeling when watching this series is, "how I f**king miss those days." Watching Sonic Highways is like dusting off an old record while sitting in a room listening and remembering. The series is an inspiration within itself.
