Filmed in the mountains around Asheville, North Carolina, The End of an Old Song creates a moving portrait of Dillard Chandler, one of the last unaccompanied ballad singers. Chandler has little money, no family, and few friends, but his strength comes from his music. Although the proud heritage of his music shines throughout the film, in one revealing scene Chandler’s hauntingly sad, unaccompanied song is drowned out by the sounds of modern country music on the jukebox as the world around him embraces the future.
