Tony Palmer: All You Need Is Love. Vol. 4: Who's That Comin'? - Blues (2 DVD)

"A mighty achievement. Thank you." John Lennon "Music buffs, rejoice! British documentary TV maker Tony Palmer's energized and enlightening history of popular music has finally landed on our shores." Jonathan Takiff, Philadelphia Daily News Blues is a word you have to think about before it can be understood. Contrary to popular belief, blues - as a form of music - does not appear until 1910 or so, that is after ragtime and jazz. Blues is not, therefore, the cornerstone of popular music. Rather, it has become an emotional response, through music, to a variety of oppressive social conditions. The episode begins in the delta of the Mississippi and follows the progress of itinerant blues musicians to the steel mills and automobile factories of Chicago; from harmonica and fiddle, to electric guitar and fashionable nightclub. Finally, the episode shows how blues phrases and harmonies were stolen by white rock 'n' rollers in need of a new gimmick.
