Movie Reviews of Blues Story
Movie Review: Just Buy it - Trust Me
Summary: 5 Stars
From the very beginning, and I mean the opening DVD menu, this is pure GOLD! Even if you're not particularly interested in the Blues, this is utterly fascinating. If you are interested in the Blues, and all of the stars that shine in this production, you'll be in heaven. I have watched this over 20 times and still love every minute of it. The part about the Delta Blues, especially with R.L. Burnside (Rest In Peace, Brother) is absolutely captivating. For the price, you just can't go wrong. The only downside is that there will never be a "Part two," as almost all of these geat artists have departed, and I very much doubt that the magic that these artists have imparted to this world will ever be captured again by anyone else.

I bought this for my son's Christmas present. He just raves about it. He keeps saying how much he likes it and that it is just exactly what he wanted. I believe it is his favorite Christmas gift.Movie Review: Blues Story
Summary: 4 Stars
Although this is a fairly comprehensive work, it will take a lot more than 120 minutes to give a thorough disertation on this, one of only two uniquely American forms of music. Bluegrass and later, Country music being the other. Overall, the interviews were good. Especially the Hubert Sumlin, R.L.Burnside, and Buddy Guy segments. Not enough can be said of the importance of and the impact the Blues has had on our lives. It is the common thread that connects us all regardless of race religion or social status. Everybody gets the Blues sometime or another. Sometimes happy, sometimes sad. But, they're always there to express the human condition no matter what it may be. I recommend this DVD as a good addition to your collection, but, there are a lot more out there to supplement your knowledge and enjoyment of this uniquely American art form.

Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD has been well critiqued, my comment is simple, if You Love the back wood rea deal blues and are familiar with the names featured here but never layed eyes on em' your in for a treat, plus the antedotes and stories of Hubert Sumlin Pinetop Perkins, fairly old footage of the Great Buddy Guy who at first glance looks and sounds like a blues up Jimi Hendrix...really! If You enjoyed DEEP BLUE You will dig this, it is gritty but well edited, sound is good and with a running time of 2 hours, you'll think it was only 45 minutes because there is not a weak moment. There is 30 minutes of extra footage not shown on PBS, I got most converted to DVD's anything to do with blues library and this DVD gets highest honors in my collection, its not pretentious, its the BLUES STORY.
