From England originally, I’ve lived in the Deep South for the last 10 years.
The South has forced me to change my mind about a lot of things, blues music being one of them.
I couldn’t have cared less for the blues before arriving here. It took a while, but the music has turned my mind around 180 degrees.
Here’s a brilliant documentary called “You See Me Laughin’”, filmed in 2002, just before I arrived here. It’s about the blues players on Fat Possum Records in Mississippi. All four parts are on YouTube:
