    Nowhere Man and A Whiskey Girl is the beautifully tragic love story of Derrick & Amy - and the best band you've never heard of.
    Chris Charles Scott's beautiful documentary is now available to stream at Popflick. Derick Ross and Amy Lopez came up with their band name, "Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl," by combining the titles of songs by The Beatles and Gillian Welch. The first time you listen to Amy, her voice hits you like a ton of bricks. Burning questions come at you fast: Who is this lost sister of Billie Holiday, Joanna Newsom, and Amy Winehouse? How come I have not heard of her before? The answer arrives in this striking documentary, rich in musical performances that give you the joy of discovery and a sense of loss. The indie film doc is a departure for director Chris Charles Scott III, who goes for musical biography after the tragicomedy of "Class Action Park" (available at HBO Max). We talked with Chris about his career, independent filmmaking, and the legend of Amy and her partner in music and life, Derick Ross.

    I heard of this incredible performer and late husband thru a video of their daughter performing on American Idol Had Amy been here a few years later she could have survived. Possibly. I’m a rheumatologist we now have Benlysta and Voclosporin(Lupkynis) approved for lupus nephritis. We use Rituxan off label and mycophenolate
    She didn’t have those available to her
    I hope her strength and perseverance is an inspiration to any one with lupus to get help and see a knowledgeable rheumatologist for care. I’m in awe of how she went to dialysis and the performed and went back to dialysis. Hard life. Tough lady ! Prayers to McKenna and her parents families. Only happiness ahead.

    I was going through a rough time 6 years or so ago. And one of the things I found solace in was Doug Stanhope and also things connected to his world, such as Nowhere Man and A Whisky Girl. I think I first discovered their story, and then the music. I had heard bluegrass and folk before, but never heard such a stripped down, pure, Southwest soul music like theirs. Amy was so damn talented and amazing at piano, singing, songwriting, etc. Her harmonies on their albums are just incredible.
    And like was said in this clip, it makes zero sense how they didn't blow up. It truly goes to show that not all great artists get their due. The spotlight can only cover so much ground I guess...and often it shines on those who are completely undeserving.
    But yeah..For me, their music was a big piece of all the other things Southwest (Arizona, Bisbee, Stanhope, Grand Canyon, etc) that drove me to actually visit there and truly get a feel for the wild west.

      Yes, he is the father. They kept the pregnancy a secret from most people and decided to put her up for adoption due to their traveling ways, but mostly because of her illness of lupus. She passed away in October 2013 from complications relating to lupus. After Derrick received the news at the hospital that she had passed, he went home and sadly committed suicide. It’s really, truly, a sad sad story.

      I agree I never understood why my own mother who raised me would tell me stories of almost being adopted-she too thought I’d have a better upbringing. And I could even feel her guilt at times for not letting me go. I had a dr who was willing to adopt me. As a baby, the dr who performed my mom’s c-section. I wasn’t not adopted due to my moms change of heart or more so her husband my father. He told her not to. He was an alcoholic and mom knew what that life would entail. I was blessed with such a grateful mother. RIP to her. And to Amy. And Derek. Lovely story.
