Immediate Family Reviews
The Screening Room Podcast
Hope Madden
It all follows a formula very similar to the one that made The Wrecking Crew! so irresistible, but with greatly improved production values that increase the immediacy along with the timeline.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Tedesco is the son of the West Coast guitar great Tommy Tedesco, and he clearly has a knack for getting musicians to open up.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
Never feels much more than an addenda to "Wrecking Crew" and all the docs on that scene ("Sound City," et al) and that sound ("Echo in the Canyon") that preceded it.
Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Immediate Family is an affectionate and insightful group portrait and a sweet jolt of nostalgia for boomers - but more than that, it's time well spent with delightful subjects who played crucial roles in shaping the popular music of a ground-shifting era.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
a boomer's delight; What I thought would be a faded, dated catalogue of past glories is instead a joyous celebration of the art and creation of rock and of the unassuming four men who are still at it.

[T]hese four musicians genuinely seem thrilled beyond belief, not only to have possessed the luck they have had in their careers, but also to have those careers spotlighted...
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
My only complaint abut The Immediate Family is that it feels too short, and I would have loved to hear more music, both original tunes from the band and examples of their studio work over the years.

Peter Sobczynski
Serves as both a warm and undeniably tuneful nostalgia bath for those who grew up listening to their work and an effective oral history of a particular place and time in the history of American popular music.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
It goes down very easily, abetted by myriad performance clips, some animation, and interviews with a starry roster...
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Paying tribute to the often unheralded talent of great session musicians, this rhythmic documentary focuses on four of the best.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A fantastic array of archival clips, and testimonies from the likes of Phil Collins, Carole King, Don Henley, Keith Richards, the late David Crosby, Linda Ronstadt, Neil Young and Jackson Browne...
Variety
Chris Willman
"Immediate Family" keeps hustling along like a soft-rock freight train, relying not just on the then-and-now chemistry between the four core players but also on our eagerness to jump with them to the next celebrity-session story.
Tampa Bay Newspapers
Lee Zumpe
For anyone with more than a passing interest in rock and roll history, "Immediate Family" is a worthwhile indulgence.
Decider
Johnny Loftus
The doc is also a kind of sonic rolodex, linking some of their greatest material to their long standing professional legacy.
