As Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer, and the rest of the Buena Vista Social Club are to Cuba, Will Roy Sanders, 67 year-old bluesman from Byhalia, Mississippi, is to the U.S: the last of a dying bred of authentic, hardcore, straight from the farm Mississippi bluesmen. Sanders has learned the blues life first hand--chopping cotton on the farm for ridiculously low wages, soaking up and perfecting the soul-drenched songs that make even a dogdead fieldhand dance a jig at the Saturday night juke joint, and suffering the financial woes of a music industry that loves the blues but hates to pay a bluesman. This is Sanders' story: the story of his band the Fieldstones--one of Memphis' greatest blues bands of all-time--and of a life spent entertaining in Memphis juke joints, international blues festivals, & Mississippi fish fries. Shot in beautiful 16 mm and told by Sanders himself on his front porch, this 42 minute documentary tells the parallel stories of Sanders and the blues movement from the farm to the city.
