View the Blues experience with these great Blues DVD's. Live Blues performances and Blues history are the very soul of Blues music. Here are the top five Blues DVD's to get your mojo workin'.
1. Deep Blues
This is a great DVD if you love raw Blues. It covers the Country Blues spectrum with historical jewels and contemporary survivors. This is the real thing and nothing but.
2. The Essential History of the Blues
The best comprehensive study of the Blues. Plenty of rare film footage with artists like Son House, Leadbelly, and Bessie Smith. The film puts the evolution of the Blues in context with corresponding social conditions.
3. The Last Waltz
Probably the greatest concert video ever produced. The Band invited a few of their friends to celebrate the premature end to their careers. What resulted was an amazing record of American music. Muddy Waters is the definitive highlight.4. The Search for Robert Johnson
This is an interesting video of the birthplace of the Blues. In their search for the legendary Bluesman, the producers paint an acurate portrait of the Mississippi Delta and the influences it had on the Blues.5. B.B. King: Live in Africa
Watch B.B. King in his prime playing before 50,000 people in Kinshasa, Zaire. The concert was coinciding with the classic George Foreman/Muhammed Ali championship fight. The vibe is biblical.
