Yes this post will be about a movie. No better to say about a Movie.
I’m personally a fan of some southern-stuff: music, bit of a culture and the other entire “South Will Rise Again” thing. This movie caught my attention with its real southern groove but in fact it is a blues movie.
Lot of people are arguing bout where does modern music came from. Some cite the middle-age orchestras, I personally give credit to the pirate ships where the black rhymes and European melodies first collided. But one thing is definite the first style of music as we know it is Delta Blues. Played by poor black people in Mississippi delta it quickly became something more than just music. Later together with jazz they formed rock and roll and it was the blues that gave the melody.
This movie is about blues. Samuel Jackson is playing and old blues-guitarist and his badass voice is exactly what you need for a badass blues. I think he really should record a blues album. Other stuff in the soundtrack is performed by mostly unknown bands like The Black Keys, Outrageous Cherry, North Mississippi Allstars and some real bluesy dudes like R.L. Burnside.
Want to experience the blues? Get this movie and get this soundtrack!
