I AM THE BLUES is a beautiful feature
documentary about to go into national theatrical release. The film was made by
Emmy-winning Montreal director Daniel Cross. It follows a number of remaining
blues greats, most in their 80s, in Mississippi and Louisiana. It's an
incredibly intimate and touching look at these artists and a disappearing
generation in the blues.
I
AM THE BLUES takes the audience on a musical journey through the swamps of the
Louisiana Bayou, the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta and Moonshine soaked
BBQs in the North Mississippi Hill Country. Visit the last original blues
devils, many in their 80s, still living in the American deep south and touring
the Chitlin’ Circuit. Let Bobby Rush, Barbara Lynn, Henry Gray, Carol Fran,
Little Freddie King, Lazy Lester, Bilbo Walker, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, RL Boyce,
LC Ulmer, Lil’ Buck Sinegal and their friends awaken the blues in all of us.
