Everyone knows the blues came from Mississippi. But here’s the update: They never left.
One could easily be convinced that the CD soundtrack for "M for Mississippi" contains the Delta blues of 30 or 40 years ago. But it doesn''t. It showcases the blues of today. Recorded largely on-location at juke joints and house parties in spring 2008, this timely album represents the best of authentic Mississippi blues, presented as it was it was meant to be heard and experience — raw and unadorned.
In the spring of 2008, blues producers Roger Stolle (Cat Head Delta Blues & Folk Art) and Jeff Konkel (Broke & Hungry Records) piled into Stolle''s white Dodge van with filmmaker Damien Blaylock (Atavistik Pictures) and co-producer Kari Jones (Mudpuppy Recordings). Recording engineer Bill Abel (Big Toe Porta-Studio) followed in his weathered Volvo station wagon packed with recording equipment. Over one long week, the tiny caravan traversed the state of Mississippi visiting some of the state''s most fascinating blues figures while the recording tape rolled. The film''s soundtrack shines a overdue spotlight on the men, their music and the land from which blues sprang. The songs on the CD, "M for Mississippi," capture the essence of today''s Mississippi Delta — both the music and the land. For a visual tour of the the Delta''s vanishing blues scene, be sure to order the original motion picture, "M for Mississippi: A Road Trip through the Birthplace of the Blues" on DVD, through https://www.tradebit.com or https://www.tradebit.com.
"Raw, powerful and authentic, this is blues as it is found nowhere else on earth. Not since Document Records’ outstanding Son House and the Great Delta Blues Singers, 1928-1930 has a collection captured so well the traditional Delta sound as has this quality recording." — Joan Turner, https://www.tradebit.com
