Audience Member an amazing Documentary, about some really fascinating Mississippi country bluesmen who don't play the blues to become rich or become famous they just play for themselves and because they love to play the blues. The makers of the documentary (who have a recording company) goal has been to record these guys and get there music out there, to share there music with the world. Each bluesman has a story to tell about life in Mississippi. These men are old storytellers taking about life through the Blues. They are interesting characters who have lead very colourful lives. I feel bluesmen are the last really great storytellers. There is something about the Blues that just draws you in, you don't have to be a great singer or guitar player to sing the blues it about the emotion of what they are singing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A moderately interesting movie at best. The movie itself has no revolutionary information, nor is it particularly creative in its format. It is a by the book documentary of a half-dozen people that work in a relatively minor music genre. Without a strong interest in Blues music and its history, there is no reason to see this film. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Hvor livsbekræftende kan det lige blive at have "the blues"?!? Hvem der dog bare havde chancen for et kig ind i Junior Kimbroughs Juke Joint. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Finally got a chance to see this again. And sadly it's not as good a documentary as I thought on first wieving. It's more like a 90 minute comercial for Fat Possum Records, but it's at least a good one. You get some of their stories and a lot of fat possum's. But it's totally worth it. Theres not just some ass kicking music in it, but seeing those guys play is last chance for an 'over seas' guy like me. Not considering most of them are dead now.. And let me just tell you. You'll get a whole new opinion of cool. These guys are not cool due to their attitude like most rappers, rockers and funkers these days. They're cool because there's simply no other way to describe them. Not trying. Just being! I would have given an arm to be in Junior's Juke Joint before it burned down seeing these guys, but I would probably have been waay too white to even stand casually in there. Anyway, the obligatory "If you're a blues fan..." of course applies here so.. I hope you all are! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member One toothed guitar-picking, butter knife fretting really makes for an interesting documentary.
