Black & White; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English Lipscomb and Hopkins, both Texas bluesmen, could hardly have had more different styles. Lipscomb played a little bit of everything: pop, bottleneck, rags, polkas, whatever he was called upon to play. Being the sole source of income for his 11 brothers and sisters, he wasn't picky about what he would play. He was, however, a master at just about everything he attempted, and stands as one of the greatest country blues fingerpickers. Hopkins virtually invented the archetypal hard drinking, roaming blues man. One of the most popular blues artists of his era, Hopkins had a number of hit records in the forties, and his ability to tell a story within a song was unparalleled. Complete Title: "Masters of the Country Blues: Mance Lipscomb/Lightnin' Hopkins."

Masters Of The Country Blues - Mance Lipscomb And Lightnin' Hopkins movie DVD

Eric Sardinas is a good, even great, electric slide player, and his Dobro skills are equally as impressive. His band on Black Pearls, Paul Loranger on bass and Mike Dupke on drums, is also quite good. The songs, all written by Sardinas, sound good and rock hard, although you've heard all this said before. (Granted, blues feeds on recycled lyrics, and it is undoubtedly hard to find a new way to say "I've been down so long I'm gonna leave you.") The highlights here -- the cheerful pop-blues of "Big Red Line," the bluegrass-paced Dobro work on "Old Smyrm Road" -- come on songs that step a little bit outside the blues-boogie template. ~ Steve Leggett
Eric Sardinas is a good, even great, electric slide player, and his Dobro skills are equally as impressive. His band on Black Pearls, Paul Loranger on bass and Mike Dupke on drums, is also quite good. The problem here is the material. The songs, all written by Sardinas, are at the worst end of blues cliché. They sound good and rock hard, but in the end, you've heard all this said before, and probably better. Granted, blues feeds on recycled lyrics, and it is undoubtedly hard to find a new way to say "I've been down so long I'm gonna leave you," but it can be done (Otis Taylor comes immediately to mind). The highlights here -- the cheerful pop-blues of "Big Red Line," the bluegrass-paced Dobro work on "Old ...

Masters Of The Country Blues - Mance Lipscomb And Lightnin' Hopkins video
$15.59
The glimpse afforded by director Mandy Stein's documentary into the world of four Mississippi bluesmen, who comprise the roster of Fat Possum Records, is a testament to a musical era that many consider passed. R.L. Burnside, the late Junior Kimbrough, Cedell Davis, and T-Model Ford, have lived the life commemorated in the music they play; from a lifetime of illness in Davis' case to Burnside's tragic family history, these men epitomize the blues, and relay their experiences here in both interviews and song. The story of Fat Possum's origins as a label founded on a shoestring budget by young white entrepreneur Matthew Johnson, using his college tuition money, is also heard, with intimations of the tension between the white label owners and black musicians. With excellent photography, including rare black and white footage of Burnside dating from 1974, the documentary paints a portrait of the turbulent lives these men have lived ...
