with our buddy Roger Stolle of Cat Head Presents and principal film
partners Damien Blaylock and Kari Jones, Broke & Hungry Records

“M for Mississippi: A Road Trip Through the Birthplace of
the Blues.”
The film and accompanying soundtrack are slated for release this
fall. Those interested in pre-ordering both the DVD and CD are invited

. . . ).

ABOUT THE FILM:
This timely road movie will explore the thriving underbelly of a
dying American art form in the land where it began – Mississippi.
Planned as a weeklong journey through the birthplace of the blues,
M FOR MISSISSIPPI seeks to capture the proverbial "real deal"
in its home where it is most comfortable and authentic -- the jukes,
the front yards, the cotton fields. More than just a collection
of concert performances, the film will collect the sounds, the images
and the feel of both the performers and their native landscape –
an environment essential to their livelihoods and inseparable from
their art. Cultivating the fertile ground between such landmark
theatrical travelogues as Buena Vista Social Club and Deep Blues,
M FOR MISSISSIPPI aims to appeal to more than just the average blues
fan. By showcasing such a fascinating foreign land so close to home,
the filmmakers hope to inspire countless others to make their own
road trips down Mississippi's blue highways.
