The King of Inbetween” is a love letter...It’s about a mixed race poet from Brooklyn with the musical chops of everyone from the Rolling Stones to Goffin and King, who couldn’t bend to any genre.

If you, like me, bear the shame of not having heard of Garland Jeffreys, then Garland Jeffreys: The King of In Between is required viewing. Enjoy the music, meet the man, and fold his legacy into your life. He will add a star to your night sky.

A mildly engaging, shallow and underwhelming documentary biopic.
