| Description: | 150 min, Black & White sound. "Saturday night in a north central Mississippi tonk, called the Brotherhood Lodge, we hear the blues expounded in its most volatile form. Delta Blues player R.L. Burnside and friends clearly delineate the function of the honky tonk in rural black life." Grainy, verite-style video original (this is a 3/4 transfer from a Sony 1/2 inch original). This is authentic delta blues, an extended documentation of a rural southern blues club. This video-original footage is exemplary of the early open reel to reel prosumer equipment of the time it was shot: grainy, edgy, shaky, and less than stable. The footage is raw & gritty in the truest sense. Not necessarily professional, but artistic. | |
