    Two trains coming? Music and Society? You decide.

    Journey of groups looking to complete a renewed interest of long forgotten blues artists from the early 1900's when it was performed live, on radio, or on 78 records. The best were long forgotten and people no longer knew where they were in the late 50's and 60's. Add to that the early freedom riders and the Civil Rights period that was boiling up and it makes an even more complex and telling story. Much more than just the music history to learn about.

    Great watch for anyone. Would love to see a review done by a professional or expert in the field.
