Movie Reviews of Blues Story
Movie Review: Must Have
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.Movie Review: Fantastic!! Best Blues DVD available!!

This DVD, with its excellent interviews and fabulous music, would be a treasure chest of memories in and of itself. Watch it now, though, and realize that since it was made R.L. Burnside and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown have both passed on, and remind yourself that no one, not even great Bluesmen, live forever.
Watch this DVD and appreciate the rich Blues heritage these incredible men and women represent.
Movie Review: Authenticity at its best.
Summary: 5 Stars
This blues documentary is the only one I know of that features ONLY BLACK MUSICIANS. Most documentaries on the blues feature mostly white artists and white blues aficionados and then that one (maybe two or three) black blues artist, which 98% of the time is B.B. King. Not saying that white people don't have the blues too, but let's level the playing field and pay homage to the groundbreakers that happen to be of a darker hue. I feel that this DVD does just that. There are A LOT of other black blues artists joining Mr. King in this documentary. It takes you back to the juke joints, the front porches, the house parties, the cotton fields, the Delta, Chicago, and even to London, where the famed white performers paid there respects when they obtained fame and fortune. You find yourself deep in the history and culture for the time duration of the DVD, and the music is the thread of that history and culture. For those who are interested in purchasing this DVD will not be disappointed. This is a fine example of when keeping it real goes right.
