We Juke Up In Here! - Trailer 1

We Juke Up In Here is a new film and music project from the makers of the award-winning blues movie M For Mississippi: A Road Trip Through the Birthplace of the Blues.

Slated for an April 2012 release (but available now for pre-order), We Juke Up In Here follows producers Jeff Konkel and Roger Stolle as they explore what remains of Mississippi's once-thriving juke joint culture. The film is told largely from the vantage point of Red Paden, proprietor of the legendary Red's Lounge in historic Clarksdale, Mississippi. Paden, a true Delta character and jack-of-all-trades, has been running his blues and beer joint for more than 30 years -- providing one of the region's most reliable live blues venues and an authentic stage for a cavalcade of veteran blues performers, both legendary and obscure.

Told through live music performances, character-driven interviews and rare on-camera blues experiences, viewers are taken below the surface of the quasi-legal world of real Delta jukes -- while it's still living and breathing. Mississippi's juke joint culture may be at a crossroads, but as Red likes to say, "The Game's for life . . . and that's for damn sure!"

We Juke Up In Here is a joint production of Broke & Hungry Records and Cat Head Delta Blues & Folk Art.

Considering the quality and content of "M for Mississippi" from the same producers, this should be an excellent documentary. I am looking foward to the release.
