This documentary originated in 2003. We followed a talented San Francisco musician named Chris Cotton to Clarksdale, MS where he recorded an album with some old friends in that old style analog, scratchy, dirty way.

Along the way we met some amazing folks and fell in love with this place - Clarksdale, MS. A million miles away but right next door. So come and step inside and get to know a little about the delta blues, the delta people and the soul of American Music.

And one of these days stop by Clarksdale, MS and you just might bump into Willie Nelson, Morgan Freeman, Scott Bomar, Super Chikan, Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello, Jimbo Mathus, Razorblade, Sadie the dog, Bill Luckett, Stan Street , Mose Allison. Ruby Wilson and the producers of Delta Rising.
