Hellhounds on My Trail - The Afterlife of Robert Johnson

Summary: Hellhounds on My Trail is Heaven on Earth
Review: This is an incredible video for anyone interested in music history in the U.S and blues in particular. Robert Mugge has done an in-depth study of Robert Johnson, the man and the myth. The performances are stellar and it is a delight to see Robert Lockwood, Jr., G. Love, and Bob Weir on the same bill. Very interesting! I would also HIGHLY recommend (2) other Mugge films: DEEP BLUES + THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO AL GREEN. I look forward to alot more from this talented filmmaker!

Summary: HMMMMM HellhOund?
Review: This movie was enjoyable, but not focused on the music of RJ other than as interpreted by others. I don't know where ol' Sam figured that there weren't "name" artists - Sonny Landreth, Gov't Mule, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Peter Green, Guy Davis, and Bob Weir/Rob Wasserman, JLW, Honeyboy.....the list goes on & on. Most performances were great in my opinion - Ian and Desmond are clueless. A considerable portion of the film consists of interviews with persons acquainted with RJ and at one point discusses a mysterious home video that possibly depicts him playing in the streets (wow do they get sidetracked here....). If u like blooz check it out!
