In
April 1971, Brewer and Shipley's "One Toke Over the Line" made the Top
10 in the Billboard charts. Now 50 years later comes One Toke Over the
Line...And Still Smokin', a feature-length documentary on Brewer and
Shipley by St. Louis-based documentary filmmaker Kathy Corley.
The film
follows Michael and Tom on tour around the country in the years leading
up to the 50th anniversary of their musical act and iconic
counterculture anthem.
With their
characteristic humor and insight, Tom and Michael sing and tell tales of
their eventful and creative lives on and off the road and offer their
passionate opinions about music, politics, and culture. The film
features never-before-seen archival material and musical performances,
including new and unreleased music.
Veteran blues
musician and composer Nick Gravenites, pianist and former touring
bandmate Mark Naftalin, musician and singer Danny Cox,
musician/composer Keith Brewer, sound recording engineer Stephen Barncard, and
musician/composer Jorma Kaukonen are among the friends and
contemporaries who share their thoughts on Brewer and Shipley's music
and their contribution to the birth of folk-rock music.
