Director Martin Scorsese ('The Last Waltz', 'Raging Bull', 'Gangs of New York') winds his way from the banks of the Niger River in Mali to the cotton fields and juke joints of the Mississippi Delta to trace the origins of the blues in lyrical combination with original performances (including Willie King, Taj Mahal, Otha Turner, and Ali Farka Toure) and rare archival footage (featuring Son House, Muddy Waters, and John Lee Hooker). "I've always felt an affinity for blues music - the culture of storytelling through music is incredibly fascinating and appealing to me. The blues have great emotional resonance and are the foundation for American popular music." - Martin Scorsese. Also available in this collection is "Godfathers and Sons", "The Piano Blues", "Red White and Blues", "The Road to Memphis", and "The Soul of Man".
