M For Mississippi Trailer

This timely road movie will explore the thriving underbelly of a dying American art form in the land where it began -- Mississippi.


Planned as a weeklong journey through the birthplace of the blues, M for Mississippi seeks to capture the proverbial "real deal" in its home where it is most comfortable and authentic -- the jukes, the front yards, the cotton fields. More than just a collection of concert performances, the film will collect the sounds, the images and the feel of both the performers and their native landscape -- an environment essential to their livelihoods and inseparable from their art.

Cultivating the fertile ground between such landmark theatrical travelogues as Buena Vista Social Club and Deep Blues, M for Mississippi aims to appeal to more than just the average blues fan. By showcasing such a fascinating foreign land so close to home, the filmmakers hope to inspire countless others to make their own road trips down Mississippi's blue highways.

Roger, thank you so much for your contribution to the blues world. I am going to order my advance copy and ask all blues fans do the same to support this project. I have attended the Blues Music Awards several times and last year I visited your record store in Clarksdale Ms. Cat Head Records and bought a lot of music, DVD's and history to bring back home to Seattle!
