Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: A Musical Journey
by Peter Guralnick (Editor), Robert Santelli (Editor), Holly George-Warren (Editor), and Christopher John Farley (Editor)
"The blues are the roots; everything else is the fruits." -- Willie Dixon, the great ambassador of Chicago blues
On September 28, PBS premieres a monumental television event spearheaded by Martin Scorsese, one of America's leading cinematic visionaries. The Blues: A Musical Journey traces the evolution of blues from a patchwork of parochial folk tunes to the cornerstone of American popular music, traversing through the highways and byways in search of legend and legacy. The series unfolds in seven individual documentary films from seven distinct directors, including Scorsese, along with such acclaimed talents as Clint Eastwood and Mike Figgis. The sweeping companion book features historical essays, archival photographs, in-depth director interviews, and personal essays from music and literary luminaries. Designed as both a complement to the television series and a stand-alone for the general reader, the book serves as a captivating road map to discovering and celebrating the blues.
