Newport Mercury

..deftly explores the many origins and influences of the blues style, and what pops up is a beautifully engaging collage of interviews, performances and historical accounts of blues playing over the decades.

When I was in Mississippi in

1963 and 1964 Clarksdale was

of course an important place for

the movement.  But we were

unaware of its rich history with

the blues.  So this film was

very fascinating for me

                    - Howard Zinn

A wonderful film.

                    - Ken Burns

This is a F&%#ing great movie!

                    - Jim Belushi

Delta Rising can consider me

a good friend and big fan.
