'As joyful and buoyant as its music.' Read THR's film review of 'Jimmy Carter Rock & Roll President' here:
Bob Dylan says that when he met Governor Jimmy Carter, "the first thing he did was quote my songs back to me." He knew the lyrics inside out, and they began an enduring friendship. Not many years later, President Carter's old friend Willie Nelson smoked pot while visiting him in the White House.
in a smooth, straightforward style, and Mari Keiko Gonzalez has edited it to move along effortlessly. Carter himself is a major presence, sitting for an interview in Plains, Georgia, in 2018, an LP record player behind him. He sets the needle down on "Mr. Tambourine Man," which plays over the opening credits, the first of many familiar but fitting songs. He goes on to recall his boyhood, listening to the radio and to church choirs, which had what he calls "all-night sings.
The film also reveals how significant musicians were in Carter's path from governor of Georgia to president. When he was barely known on the national stage, supportive musicians would play at fundraisers, bringing him attention and momentum. "The Allman Brothers helped put me in the White House by raising money when I didn't have any money," Carter says.
Carter brought his love of music to the White House and beyond. Among the snippets of performances in the film is an amazing all-star jazz concert on the White House lawn with Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon and Herbie Hancock. Another scene shows Nelson singing "Georgia" in Oslo when Carter was awarded the Nobel. Nelson offers the best explanation for Carter's odd-couple friendships with people like Dylan.
