A very special production and likely the most important
blues release of the year.
10 Days OutàBlues From The Backroads documents the voyage
of blues guitar great Kenny Wayne Shepherd as he travels
the country to jam with, interview and generally pay homage
to the last of the authentic blues greats. Beginning in
New Orleans and ending with a grand finale concert at
Acoustic Sounds' own Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, Kansas,
Shepherd's pilgrimage is a perfect lens into blues history
and with absolutely exceptional cinematography and editing.
This is a major-league production about what all too
often is treated as a minor-league genre.
The guitar-slinger Shepherd, along with the Double Trouble
rhythm section of Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton, begins
in New Orleans, where they meet with Clarence "Gatemouth
Brown" and Bryan Lee. Their tour busses rumble north to
Shepherd's hometown of Shreveport where he and Buddy Flett
jam at Leadbelly's graveside. They continue on into
Mississippi to perform with B.B. King in his hometown of
Indianola. Then it's over to Alabama to visit the home of
Jerry "Boogie" McCain. The tour continues into rural North
Carolina to meet with the Piedmont blues masters Cootie Stark,
Neil Pattman, John Dee Holeman and Etta Baker. They turn West
to jam with the great Henry Townsend in his St. Louis living
room along with Honeyboy Edwards, who came down from Chicago
for the session. Finally, the production ends at Blue Heaven
Studios in Salina, KS (www.blueheavenstudios.com). There, Kenny
performs with surviving members of Muddy Waters' and Howlin'
Wolf's bands. The concert included Pinetop Perkins, Bob Margolin,
Calvin "Fuzz" Jones, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Henry Gray and
Hubert Sumlin along with guests Wild Child Butler, Lazy Lester,
Jimmy D. Lane, Double Trouble and Noah Hunt. The performances
are absolutely legendary and the beauty of the old church
sanctuary with a revved up "congregation" is truly something to
behold. 10 Days Out... is a no-brainer for any blues fan, but
it's also the perfect introduction to the blues. And consider
for historic sake that since this filming in June 2004, six
of the legends documented within have died, making 10 Days
Out... a crucial artifact in all future generations'
explorations into such an integral part of American music history.
This release includes a CD with music from the artists documented
on the DVD.
