Toot Blues

In the late 1980s, Tim Duffy, a penniless North Carolina musicology student, became deeply involved in Winston-Salem's drinkhouse music scene, an off-the-grid hotbed of gritty traditional blues. He began the foundation after observing and living with the deep poverty of the Southern blues artists he befriended and championed.The foundation now helps hundreds of older Southern musicians with everything from financial assistance to tour support. The film travels back to the early artists that were the inspiration for Music Maker, and forward to the current artists carrying on the Southern roots tradition. The film features performances, archival and contemporary, of Music Maker artists on tour and in the studio, as well as interviews with the artists and Duffy on the foundation, music and the blues.

It's A Mean Old World

By the time "It's A Mean Old World" was filmed, Reverend Pearly Brown had been struggling to survive singing gospel music for nearly 40 years. While the rough sound of his bottleneck playing has the feel of a life spent scuffling on the street, the poignancy of his voice is a better measure of the gentle spirit and inner strength of the man.

If you expect extravagant footage look some place else. The Road To God Knows Where is shot on the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' 1989 American tour (promoting the Tender Prey album) and carefully documents how the band is off stage, away from the spotlights. The camera work is simple and effective and there is little live footage (after all this is a documentary of a tour, so it's natural that they included a few shots here and there). Besides the charming Bad Seeds (unfortunately you don't get to see a lot of Thomas Wyndler and Roland Wolf), we also see a little of Lydia Lunch and Anita Lane. There are several memorable scenes like when Nick dances to Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" at sound check. If you have the DVD release you might want to see it with subtitles at first time since the sound is quite low. I've got no other complains. I enjoyed every minute of it. It's simple, it's beautiful, it's Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds at one of their finest moments in their career.

A demonstration of simplicity, a disarming road movie, not pretentious, little edited, extremely truth and completely naked. It´s evidently a fan's piece.I stand and applause..

This film was probably the best documentary of nick cave i have ever seen. If you're a real fan, get it. If not, you probably would hate it, as the sound is pretty bad (very quiet), and (i think) it is mainly black and white. Anyway, well worth the watch.
