Blues Britannia: Can Blue Men Sing The Whites? - 2012 - 7/10
Documentary tracing the rise of the British blues groups.
First part covers touring black elder statesmen: Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson . . .
Then the Brit generation follows: Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac, Cream, ending with Zeppelin.
Well done, though I wish the younger batch could lose the apologetic guilt.
Face it, as the old masters died out, those skinny white kids were largely the ones who carried the tradition.
Doc packed with moments and stories.
Relf still missed.
