Ferron: Girl on a Road
October 11, 2009
1h 13m
Overview
She has been compared to everyone from Johnny Cash to Bruce Springsteen. A music critic famously wrote of her “What if Bob Dylan had been born a Canadian lesbian?” She once hired an unknown songwriter named Tori Amos as a backup singer, and she has been cited as an influence by everyone from Ani diFranco to the Indigo Girls. We are, of course, speaking of Ferron. No last name needed - just Ferron. And a guitar. In this remarkably intimate documentary, Gerry Rogers chronicles the return of the folk legend as she picks up the pieces after a 10-year absence from music.
