Martin Scorsese. The Blues.

This was an excellant series with a different director for each episode. Some are even better than others. The one from the kid's perspective as he follows the man around as he visits various bars and girlfriends is a bit wierd.

The CD collection is very will mixed and will sound wonderful on the best of systems. You get the whole songs in a high quality format.

I am sorry to spoil the party but I think that the Martin Scorsese series was one of the poorest description of Blues music ever. It did have its moments, but Scorsese focused on new and upcoming artists who were more R&B. Hardly any mention of Howling Wolf, Elmore James, Fleetwood Mac (Old) Any and all Swamp Blues, Chicago Electric etc. And at the end where Scorsese ties roots of rap music to the blues, this is a disgrase. It was shameful what the director conciders blues. It is as if he was promoting specific artists reflecting his own terrible taste. There was also a movie put out along the same line as this series. When you start out with a flawed understanding of a type of music, contiuning with your philosophy will lead to a greater error.
