Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Great Delta Blues movie
This movie is about the Mississippi Delta blues, there is no historic footage, only new live footage (1990). Compared to some of the episodes in the Scorsese series this movie is great. For the most part its all electric blues, a few acoustic performances are in the mix, but expect electric playing. Mostly full songs - each performer actaully plays whole songs with only one number I think clipped in the entire movie. All the performers play well, a good movie to add to your blues movies collection.

Eric Sardinas Black Pearls CD  (2003)

Deep Blues film
CD $10.09  4.7 stars Audio Samples
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).

Rediscovered after 40 years in the vaults, these priceless recordings of legendary blues artists have been lovingly remastered for the DVD format. Between 1962 and 1966 huge tours were undertaken by the likes of Muddy Waters, Otis Rush, Memphis Slim, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, and many others. A popular stop-gap on the tour was a small TV studio in Germany, where the acts would record their songs for posterity. It is from these shows that the recordings contained within are from.

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 ...

In 2003 Bon Jovi decided to undertake an ambitious project which involved them revisiting past classics from their back catalogue and reinterpreting them. The subsequent album, "This Left Feels Right" featured a surprisingly intimate-sounding selection of songs, and included drastic reworkings of some of their biggest hits. Naturally the band were itching to get out on the road to give the fans a taste of this new direction, and they are filmed here performing in their native New Jersey, at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City on November 14th and 15th, 2003. ...
