Product Description
Alan Lomax describes the program--
Today we give a platform to this vital folk culture and its creators. These people witnessed the birth of the blues. They lived them. This haunting music, laughing at lifes ironies, and set to a dancing beat. This amazing mix of Europe and Africa is America s most distinctive song style. It is also the product of the folk culture of the Mississippi Delta. We visit picnics and revivals. We meet the black pioneers who helped to carve Mississippi out of the wilderness with their work on farm, river, railroad and levee, creating a new music out of their loneliness and their deprivation. Music that, once heard, can never be forgotten.
The program features performances by Sam Chatmon, Jack Owens & Bud Spires, Eugene Powell (Sonny Boy Nelson), Belton Sutherland, Othar Turner, Napoleon Strickland, adn Joe Savage.
In addition to the original version of the film, this DVD contains three hours of extra video, including two hours of musical performances.
