Told with passion and insight, this is essential viewing for anyone who has an interest in exploring the story and journey of blues music.
Product Information:
The film starts by exploring the primitive origins of the blues in Africa & takes us on a global journey through the rural southern states of America up to the urban northern cities & eventually over to Europe & the UK. Along the way are shown not only the areas where many of the great blues players came from, but also a number of the places they played in & around, allowing you to see & get a true sense of where the blues came from, thus helping not only to unravel the mysteries, but also furthering the romance of this vital genre of music.
Set to a backdrop of classic blues from pretty much every blues performer of significance over the last century, not to mention material from Elvis Presley, Cream & Eric Clapton, from later generations, this is one of the most significant documentaries on the blues genre in recent times.
Over 2 hours of footage featuring Bill Wyman personally interviewing such luminaries BB King, Sam Phillips, Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, Mick Fleetwood, Otis Rush, Albert Lee, Mike Love of The Beach Boys, Wilson Pickett, Clarence Fountain of The Blind Boys of Alabama, Lazy Lester, Big Bill Morganfield (Muddy Waters' son), Rosetta Patton (Charley Patton’s daughter), Gay Davis, and Gary Brooker of Procul Harem as BB King, Buddy Guy & Sam Phillips, in a global journey documenting the history of blues music.
