Tracing the blues to its southern roots....
“I Am the Blues” is a documentary that spotlights small towns in Mississippi and Louisiana where aging blues musicians live and practice their art. The film takes a musical tour of the juke joints, back roads, and church halls of the Mississippi Delta, exploring America’s last generation of blues artists. The blues incorporates spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and simple rhymed ballads and has greatly influenced jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll.<br /><br />The movie is a travelogue of little-known byways and highlights the lives of veteran blues musicians dating back to the genre’s heyday, many of whom are now in their 80s, still living in the American deep south and touring the “Chitlin’ Circuit.” Among the artists featured are Barbara Lynn, Little Freddie King, harpist Lazy Lester, pianist Henry Gray, Carol Fran, Bilbo Walker, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, RL Boyce, LC Ulmer, and guitarist Lil’ Buck Sinegal.<br /><br />Many of the above artist express concern over the lack of younger people playing traditional blues, and some wonder if the genre will die when they do. Rather than a historical history-of-the-blues overview, the film, directed by Daniel Cross, has the feel of a folksy visit to the region where the blues started. Bluesmen gather for jam sessions in homes, at crawfish boils, and at senior centers.<br /><br />Between the music, the artists tell anecdotes about their lives and music, many very funny, others quite sad. The overall mood, however, is one of joyous celebration, as these men and women carry on a musical tradition started in the 19th century.<br /><br />Included on the widescreen unrated DVD release are 30 minutes of bonus footage.
