| User ReviewRyne IAnybody who is a fan of the blues or the history of music in general needs to check this out. This documentary tells the story of the great black Chicago blues artists passing the torch to young white suburban kids. They didn't see color they only heard music.

Once the Rolling Stones, Beatles and other big acts incorporated blues into their sound it exploded and influenced every type of music we listen to today. Music is what is today because of these great blues artists and that sound was born right here in Chicago! |
