Dagger — Making an Eddie Martin Album
Dagger — Making an Eddie Martin Album documents Muscle Shoals-area musician Eddie Martin and the creation of his newest solo project, Dagger (© Crestwood Flash Music). As we see in the documentary, though, a solo project is anything but solo. Videography, photography, editing, and direction of the film are A Crimson Clover Production by Tim W. Jackson (© Crimson Clover Creative).
