Amazing Historical Musical Rollercoaster
Though it was released in 2014, today is Oct 23, 2024, & I just discovered this movie. I heard a different version of Bobby "Blue" Bland's Ain't No Sunshine on the radio today; Shazam told me it was from this soundtrack. I immediately searched IMDB & discovered it was available through Freevee.
From the very 1st minute, I was hooked. To see some of the legends ply their craft again was special. The fact that this project was a fusion of old & new made it even more incredible.
I called it a rollercoaster because I felt so many emotions watching & listening. I grew up in Mississippi in the 1960s - 70s & experienced some of the good & bad associated w/those times. But make no mistake, this project filled me w/happiness. I only wish it had happened before we lost BB & others.
Thank you to the producers & everyone responsible for bringing this history lesson through music to life. Long live the Blues in general, & the Mississippi & Memphis Sound specifically.
