The Mississippi River Of Song - Southern Fusion Pt. 3/5

In 1999, American non-commercial PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) aired a 4-part Smithsonian Institution series "for public television and radio that explores the richness and vitality of American music at the close of the twentieth century". The series was "The Mississippi River Of Song".
This is episode #3 called "Southern Fusion". Featured in this clip are Levon Helm, James Cotton, delta-blues man "Big" Jack Johnson, The Jelly Roll Kings, and contemporary Delta bluesman Johnny Billington.

The series is not available any longer, not even on VHS from their web site, so I decided to share it here, as it is a wonderful program.
