So I finally get a chance to eat lunch, plop down on the chair, turn on the tube, switch to my favorite channel and damn if T-Model Ford flashes on the screen, then Asie Payton, then Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside. I've never heard of this documentary but it is about Mississippi bluesmen and Fat Possum Records.
It was on IFC (Independent Film Channel) and hopefully it is their current rotation and it will play again since I only saw half. It isn't neccesarily Country Blues but it was interesting to see how these guys lived and how some worked, Asie Payton would only record when he couldn't drive his tractor. Cameos included Bono (didn't see him) and Iggy Pop who had Junior Kimbrough open 10 shows.
[edit]
It's on Saturday morning at 7 AM PST on IFC again.
