Deep Sea Blues DVD Review

A film by Robert Mugge. (Micro Werks)
BY TOM CALLAHAN c/o BlurtOnline.com

$20 (w/ free U.S. domestic shipping)

Back in 1991 documentary filmmaker Robert Mugge teamed up with the late writer Robert Palmer to make a great film about the Mississippi blues called Deep Blues. That film introduced the world to artists such as Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside and captured the juke joint roots of the music. Now almost two decades later, Mugge has just issued his latest music documentary entitled Deep Sea Blues and even if it does not capture the intensity of his earlier work, it does have 118 minutes of great blues performances.

Deep Sea Blues documents the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise of January 2007 when 19 acts and 14 special guests put on 70 shows during a week of sailing the Caribbean and visiting three islands. Roger Naber, the long time promoter who started the first cruise way back in 1992, gives a tour of the big boat and the world of blues cruising. Read complete review >>>
