Immediate Family

NR | Documentary | 1 Hour 42 Minutes

“This film is a window into the lives of my musical brothers, whose gold standard is to make sure that every song they play on comes out even better than the songwriter imagined. Now they’re doing that for their own songs, and this film tells their story beautifully.” – Carole King

One of the untold sagas of classic rock has been a secret for decades. It’s time to let it all hang out.

The new documentary, IMMEDIATE FAMILY, celebrates the four sessions musicians
responsible for the biggest hits of the 60s, 70s and 80s. And who are still touring!
IMMEDIATE FAMILY honors the work of Danny Kortchmar, Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel, and
Waddy Wachtel – through the praise of a few of their friends. Namely… Carole King, James
Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Keith Richards, Neil Young, Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, David Crosby,
Jackson Browne, Lyle Lovett, and Phil Collins.

IMMEDIATE FAMILY was directed by Danny Tedesco, who directed the acclaimed film THE
WRECKING CREW.
