A who's who of the Blues World November 27, 2008
Bob Condon (Chicago, IL United States)
This is one of the best blues documentaries that has ever been done. To see all these true legends again is like going home. I grew up in Chicago and saw most of these guys many times. I am kicking myself that I didn't ever get to Antones for these incredible jam sessions, but I count myself incredibly lucky for the many times that I got to see the musical legends that are profiled in this film.
The only thing that could make this film better is more music and less history. WHERE are the Antone's video and audio archives? Full versions of these legendary performances NEED to see the light of day !!!
Peace, Bob
Documentary About Texas's #1 Blues Club June 17, 2008
D. B Pepper (Plainview, NY United States)
This dvd does a great job of showing us the passion of lifelong Blues fan, Clifford Antone. The real highlights are the footage of the tremendously talented and underrated Luther Tucker, whose talent is evident on songs such as "War Boy" and "Playboy". He was an excellent rhythm guitarist. There is also wonderful footage of Eddie Taylor, the backbone behind Jimmy Reed and all his great hits. Jimmy Reed was the the first crossover Rhythm & Blues Artist, except for perhaps Louis Jordan. It is a shame that this is the only available footage of Tucker and Taylor. It's also a pleasure to see Jimmy Rogers perform, and to see a young Stevie Ray Vaughan. Jimmie Vaughan's enthusiasm comes across loud and clear, but the real star of the documentary is Clifford Antone. The extras with Buddy Guy and Pintetop Perkins are a pleasant addition to this dvd.
A Must Have March 7, 2008
Danny D. (Southern US)
I bought this DVD at the same time as the much better known and fawned over Lightning in a Bottle ... what a contrast. Lightning is nice in that some blues legends (albeit not too many of the more obscure ones) have some big time attention lavished on them, but it almost seemed like they were treating the musicians as novelties ...tiring of the pristine rendering of Lightning, I popped it out after about 45 minutes and put this DVD in. Wow. What a telling contrast. Clifford Antone loved, lived and (a little) played the blues and cherished the performers - this is truly the tribute album while also chronicling some of the history of Antone's. The other great thing about this DVD is that the treatment is such that Antone's could have been in pretty much any town, it does not have to rely on that too often overdone Austin cache for validity or authenticity. This is so much more than advertised. Highly highly highly recommended.

A must purchase for any fan of the Blues. A wonderful tribute to Clifford Antone and the Blues greats he encouraged and suppotred. Great interviews and performance clips.

Clifford Antone kept the Blues alive during the 70's, 80's and 90's at his clubs in Austin, TX. His habit of bringing artists in for a week's engagement meant that young artists like SRV and Doyle Bramhall Jr. could hang out with these cats and learn their riffs. This collection of jams, recollections, and pure blues energy will be a treat to any blues lover. Highly recommended.
If you dig this, also check out Kenny Wayne Sheppard's new CD/DVD, 10 Days Out. A similar collection of old blues masters, but with more complete cuts.
Let's hope Antone's Records releases full DVD versions of these seminal bluesmen in their natural environment,
