Sound City - Dave Grohl produced this about the recording studio in LA. Stevie Nicks was just one of many interviewed for this which made it's debut at Cannes. I watched on free to air a few years back when I still had the telly plugged in so it was either SBS or the ABC. Now I just stream my shows on my laptop. I just noticed there was an album they released also, which won a Grammy. Stevie Nicks, Dave and Taylor Hawkins recorded this song in memory of Stevie's Godson. This song is called You Can't Fix This. The link to the official documentary Youtube channel is below also.
