SYNOPSIS: "Director Wim Wenders (Buena Vista Social
Club; Wings of Desire; Paris, Texas) looks at the dramatic tension in the blues
between the sacred and the profane by exploring the music and lives of three of
his favourite blues artists: Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson and J.B. Lenoir. Part
history, part personal pilgrimage, the film tells the story of these lives in music
through an extended fictional film sequence, rare archibal footage, present-day
documentary secenes and covers of their songs by contemporary musicians such as
Shemekia Copeland, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Garland Jeffreys, Cassandra Wilson, Nick
Cave, Los Lobos, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Vernon Reid, James Blood Ulmer, Lou Reed, Bonnie
Raitt, Marc Ribot, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Lucinda Williams and T Bone
Burnett."
