In today’s Lori’s List, TV critic Lori Rackl talks about HBO’s new, eight-part docuseries, “Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways.”
Music lovers are in for quite a ride as Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters take viewers along on the eight-city tour that shaped the band’s upcoming album (Nov. 10) by the same name.
This innovative series explores how a particular city’s seminal performers influenced music and how each city shaped those artists.
These intimate, well-told stories become the ingredients for a new Foo Fighters song recorded at a local studio and performed at the end of each hourlong episode.
