It’s interesting and entertaining as it should be, but the reason I’m including this film on an album blog is really because of the music. And then even even further back, with a trip to Mali, where he meets Salif Keita, Habib Koité and Ali Farka Touré. The film follows bluesman Corey Harris as he travels around the Mississippi delta getting to grips with the story of the blues, from his own contemporary take, to the delta guitar styles and even further back to fife and drum music and field hollers. For the first of the series, though, Scorsese took the reins himself, for a dive into delta blues and its roots. Because it’s my blog and I get to allow things like that.įeel Like Going Home is the first of seven films collectively known as Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues, where different directors – from Wim Wenders to Clint Eastwood – were drafted in to look at different aspects of the blues, and they all have their different methods, with historical documentary, contemporary interviews, reconstructions and even a fiction screenplay. But it’s a film about music, with tons of great music in it that you’re not gonna be able to hear elsewhere, so I’ll allow it. Okay, controversial: this isn’t an album. However, it is really cheap to buy on DVD second-hand on Amazon. Americans can probably watch it on the PBS Vimeo page, and non-Americans can watch the trailer there instead. I’m having trouble finding anywhere to watch this online in the UK – legally or otherwise – but if you know anywhere, please let us know.
