The Return of Bruno

Willis plays the title guy, a here-to-fore unknown seminal influence on rock history. Played quiet, with 'interviews' and 'archival footage' of Bruno's brushes with the greats and greatness, it's done quite well. The "documentary" finishes up with a real concert with Bruce backed up by a kick-ass blues band doing various "Bruno" songs and some standards that even wound up being released as a CD (still available as I write this). Their version of "Secret Agent Man" is particularly recommended.

The copy I found is illegal, and somehow still has a VHS tracking line on the bottom. I had to edit it into a video file from a DVD rip..

All because I wanted to understand what this was - an attempt at a Spinal Tap documentary.

I applaud the effort, it's certainly all over the place and I can see where he wanted it to go. It's honestly the cameos that give this so much more weight.

I'm glad I watched it, but I don't know how many other people I know would actually also spend an hour and a half getting lost in this.

It's a vanity project for sure, I'm confused by it but boy I'd have loved to have stumbled on it when it came out.

I have seen this and it is great, Bruce is a genius. It kept me laughing all the way through. I absolutely love Bruce Willis and this is one of my favorites. If you have never seen it...I recommend renting or purchasing it and have a laugh riot.

I actually bought the vinyl back then since the music made me laugh and smile - loved the fun in Coming right up ~ "Maay I ~ Take Your order" ~

After Eugene Martone, the magic boy of the blues, the great Bruce '' Bruno '' Randolini arrives and breaks all the schemes of the classic blues that we all know today.

Randolini is not only a great bluesman, but also a great showman and every time with his shows he makes the audience smile and amuse himself, as Martone did, but in a more professional and serious way.

This documentary is a sweet and affectionate tribute to his art, to his desire to have fun and to make the blues more revolutionary, as Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon have done, as well as being very listenable and nuanced and which still today has his fans and admirers, who will remember Bruno in the future not as a bluesman, but THE bluesman.

This is for mr B. Where he will be still unknown today, but perhaps he will return ...
