The Blues: The Soul of a Man (2003) (TV)

Second episode. Quite well done, and ten times better than the first episode. The modern covers are mostly repulsive, one sure exception being the one by Los Lobos. To be quite honest, I am not greatly attracted to blues music, although there is a certain energy to it that I find appealing. That being said, Skip James seems to transcend the genre and stand out as a fine composer and performer.
