Song Sung Blue tells the “true-ish” story of Mike and Claire Sardina, a couple from Milwaukee who established a Neil Diamond tribute act.

The couple meet at a state fair & legends night, where Mike (Hugh Jackman) has come as an Elvis impersonator and Claire (Kate Hudson) has come as Patsy Cline. However, there is already an Elvis tribute act, so Claire suggests that Mike perform as Neil Diamond, while she provides backing vocals.

Together they form a real-life band called Lightning and Thunder, and become a cult hit in their home state. However, things were not easy for them, and this film broods on how tough it is when the lightning of ill fortune strikes more than once.

Jackman absolutely crushes it as a Neil Diamond impersonator, sounding and looking almost like him. Hudson is also excellent, doing her own singing as Claire. This is an optimistic never-say-die story, and at its heart, it’s a love story “beautifully told”.
