This is a film documentary made by Chicago native Harley Cokliss, about Chicago Blues and the migrating black community that brought it there. Made in 1972 the political tensions of the late 60's are still an all pervasive presence but it makes for an edgy and atmospheric portrayal of the era and the music. There is some rare extremely excellent footage featured of Buddy Guy, and Junior Wells led by Muddy Waters presiding like a paternal King over his court, playing the infamous Theresa's Club in downtown Chicago, which makes Zep look like Girls Aloud.
