A must have for fans of classic country blues - By: Cuervo, 09 May 2004
Shot in 1966 by American ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, this DVD features 14 perfomances by such blues greats as Son House, Skip James & Howlin' Wolf among others. The film was shot at the Newport Folk Blues Festival 1966 but it doesn't contain actual concert footage. Instead, Lomax recreated a Delta juke joint, stocked with an ample supply of liquor, & let nature take its course.

The video quality is excellent (the picture is black & white of course) & the sound quality (in mono obviously) is very satisfactory. Considering this film is almost 40 years old this an excellent release & a must have for any serious blues collector.
