Music Video Distributors and Inakustik the are pleased to announce the home viewing release of Jim Lauderdale: In Concert ñ Ohne Filter for North American distribution on DVD.Jim Lauderdale is a pioneer and a key figure in the Americana movement. His music boasts an impressive mix of country music, rockabilly, bluegrass, folk, pop and soul, but has always been based on the country music he had grown up with - George Jones, Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash. He has an enormous influence as a stylist and songwriter on many famous members of the Nashville scene and is a respected performer and entertainer in his own right. This 60-minute concert taped at Ohne Filter Studios in Baden-Baden Germany displays his brilliant charismatic performance.The media acclaimed the quiet star as ""Nashville's secret weapon"" (VH1) and ""a songwriter whose talent for lyrical and melodic twists is practically unparalleled in Nashville"" (Billboard). Jim Lauderdale himself remains a modest character. He doggedly continues to push back the boundaries of country music while at the same time respecting its roots. He once described what inspires his work in an interview with Artist Direct: ""Country music is timeless, and it transcends musical boundaries in a way. Its memorable moments. Its emotions, realizations ... the things that tie everybody together. But country has a definite sound: lonesome, life-affirming, strong, on the brink, tragic, beautiful and hopeful - often all at once.""
