CHICAGO REVIEW -1/18/2010- Six Generations of the Blues, a documentary tracing the path of the truest American art form – The Blues – from its roots in Mississippi to the definitive sound of Chicago Blues will be shown Tuesday, January 26 and Thursday, January 28, 2010 at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles as part of the Grammy festivities this year. In addition to the screening of the documentary on Thursday, 94 year old David “Honeyboy” Edwards will appear in concert in an All Star Mississippi Blues concert at The Grammy Museum. Mr. Edwards will also receive the richly deserved Lifetime Achievement Award on Saturday, January 30, 2010. His life and music have been hugely influential on all generations of the blues. “Honeyboy” stands out as one of America’s great treasures.
The documentary, Six Generations of the Blues, features concert footage from June, 2009 of Mr. Edwards, Big Jack Johnson, himself from Mississippi; the inestimable guitarist, John Primer – also nominated for a Grammy Award this year for Best Traditional Blues Album; Chris James and Patrick Rynn; Aaron Burton; Rob Stone on harmonica and the amazing, energetic and fun Johnny Drummer on keyboards, harmonica and vocals. Johnny’s music frames true stories of his Mississippi youth in clever lyrics with a rockin' soul groove . He is at the Crossroads of the generations – representing the old style and bringing on the new!
Interviews include “Honeyboy” walking the streets of Clarksdale and reminiscing about Robert “Sweet Home Chicago” Johnson. There are interviews with all of the musicians shown in concert plus the great Sunnyland Slim and “H Bomb” Ferguson. The quintessential Chicago author, Studs Terkel, is here talking about the migration from South to North and how it affected Chicago’s cultural landscape. You can feel that hot road from Mississippi all the way up to Chicago. Listen to how these generations were transformed by the blues and how the blues in turn, were transformed by them.
