| User ReviewDavid SPhenomenal performances of the Mississippi Hill Country Blues Bluesmen (and women) in their Natural environs. They truly lived what they wrote about and played, and this film does a wonderful job of incorporating the spooky yet beautiful landscape and lifestyles (steeped in Southern traditions and superstitions) into the background, without taking focus off of the incredible music. R.L. Burnside, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Jack Owens, and "Blind Bud" Spires were among my favorites. They threw away the mold after these guys were made. Most of them are long gone now, but their influence may be heard in today's music and will live on forever. And, oh yeah....Dave Stewart, the guy with Robert Palmer (the other Robert Palmer not the one from ELP) in first 20 minutes of the film? That's Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame. |
| User ReviewKim BThis movie introduced me to the Delta Blues- and a whole new wonderful world of music that doesn't get its just due. |
