Rhythm 'n' Bayous: A Road Map to Louisiana Music

Now on DVD from MVD Visual!

 

RHYTHM 'N' BAYOUS:
A Road Map to Louisiana Music
(2000)

"Part musical travelogue, part anthology, part archival document, 'Rhythm n Blues' is a rambling journey loosely divided into four sections. Begun as the official chronicle of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bus tour through New Orleans and southwestern Louisiana, it turns into a more informal, out-of-the-way journey to blues and zydeco clubs, gospel churches and radio stations, and musical family gatherings in backwater bayous."
- Stephen Holden, New York Times
