This really should be a first stop for anyone wanting to experience the atmosphere of, as near as possible in 1992 (when it was shot), how the blues originated.
It gets closer to that country blues and early jook joint feel than any other doco.
Im revisiting it now, 30 years after i last saw it, on release (in an art house cinema here in Australia), and it still speaks to me the way it did on first viewing.
I was drawn to it after Stevie Ray Vaughan sent me down the blue rabbit hole, he was always quoting his sources and wanting people to know and respect the original artists, this was a natural progression
Watch it.....
