- Synopsis:
Experience Hendrix and Reelin' In The Years Productions, one of the most respected sources of archival music footage, have joined forces to create Blues Legends, a series of video releases which showcase classic performances by some of the greatest blues artists of all time. Memphis Slim and Sonny Boy Williamson (aka " Rice " Miller) remain two of the greatest and most influential blues performers of all time. This third instalment in the acclaimed Blues Legends series features never-before released footage from the early-1960's filmed for European television (much of it during the famed American Folk Blues Festival tours). This video features complete performances of such favourites as "The Blues Is Everywhere " and " I'll Just Keep Singing The Blues" by Memphis Slim and rare live versions of such unforgettable Chess Records era sides as " Keep It To Yourself", " Your Funeral And My Trial" and "Bye Bye Bird" by Sonny Boy Williamson.
As a special bonus, Blues Legends also includes rare bonus footage of three songs by blues pianist extraordinaire Otis Spann filmed live at the 1960 Newport Folk Festival.
