Description
director richard pearce traces the musical odyssey of blues legend b.b. king in a film that pays tribute to the city that gave birth to a new style of blues. pearce also takes us on the road and behind the scenes with memphis blues veterans bobby rush and rosco gordon. pearce's homage to memphis features original performances by b.b. king, bobby rush, rosco gordon, ike turner, rev. gatemouth moore, and little milton, as well as historical footage of howlin' wolf, b.b. king, rufus thomas, little richard, fats domino, the coasters, and many more.

three extra new and extended performances not seen in the film:
b.b. king - 'blues boys tune' &, 'key to the highway', hubert sumlin and david johansen - 'smokestack lightning'

the blues series - under the guiding hand of martin scorsese, the blues is a series of seven personal and impressionistic films viewed through the lens of seven-world famous directors who share a passion for the music. the films, by scorsese, mike figgis, wim wenders, clint eastwood, charles burnett, marc levin and richard pearce, capture the essence of blues music and delve into its global influence - from it's roots in africa to its inspirational role in today's music.

says pearce: 'the blues is a chance to celebrate one of the last truly indigenous american art forms before it all but disappears, swallowed whole by the rock 'n' roll generation it spawned. hopefully, we'll get there before it's too late.'
