John Jeremy’s introduction to the world of Blues is lovingly conceived and powerfully constructed from photographs and field recordings made by Paul Oliver on a journey through the South in 1960. Narrated by Blind Arvella Gray, the film features the voices and music of Otis Span, Little Brother Montgomery, Billie Pierce, Lonnie Johnson, Henry Townsend, Sam “Lightnin” Hopkins, James Stump Johnson, Speckled Red, J.B. Lenoir, Willie Thomas, Edwin Buster Pickens, and many others. • Directed, Produced, and Edited by John Jeremy. Photographed by Vernon Layton. Sound by Hugh Strain.
