It explores the beauty and art of Old Time music and demonstrates why this particular type of roots music holds such power. Old Time music isn't just a sound. It's a lifestyle. It's living history. Filming took the production crew through three states, half a dozen festivals, and several front porches and kitchens. They found people from across the globe who embrace the past and the future in the same breath to capture the experience of Old Time music in the 21st Century.

Henry was instrumental in the revival of interest in this musical form, becoming the subject of serious academic study by the scholar Dr. Alan Jabbour. Today, Chris Via, also of Giles preserves the living tradition of Reed's style with the Giles Mountain String Band and the Henry Reed Festival each June. This is a look at the Reed legacy from the past to the present, told by Reed's children, Jabbour and Via, among others.
