I bought the CD of this series with Keb Mo. I'm not that big of a blues fan, but this CD is wonderful.
PBS/ Martin Scorcese Blues Series
I just happened to catch a few parts of this fascinating series. I was spell bound by the footage of the blues greats from the early 20th century. Everyone from Blind Willie Johnson, Willie Brown, John Lee Hooker, Lightnin' Hopkins, Skip James, you name it. Scorcese did his usual great job of digging up every available piece of footage. If you are a blues fan or are interested in the roots of just about any modern rock band this is a must see. Go to PBS-Music and there are fascinating bios of eveyone related to blues. You can also order the (7/8?) cd's or dvd's of the entire series through this site.
I am a Big Fan of Blues, my favorite genre by far, and this was a great history lesson.
