Post Description

David A. Stewart, with the assistance of the late American music journalist Robert Palmer, visits the Northern Mississippi Hill country to the Delta to pay tribute to Mississippi blues. Stewart was apparently strongly inspired to play guitar by listening to blues music while growing up in the UK.

They manage to track down, hang out & document some of the then obscure, though locally well known blues artists from the region.

Stewart initially seems to be a little bit like a fish out of water here as he gets a chance to play with R L Burnside at a local 'Juke Joint' in front of a live audience, though he manages to hold it together just about.

One of the few blues documentaries to fully feature RL Burnside before his passing in 2005.
