Hey guys I would like to know about movies about the Blues scene (Documentaries and fictional stories or whatever focused on the scene)

I watched Black Snake moan, and got interested on more movies like em'

I have on the list Crossroads the one inspired by the legend on Robert Johnson, but would like to hear more suggestions.

Also there is a Satan and Adam trailer uploaded like 7 years ago on Kudzurunner's channel waiting for that one since a while haha

Don't know the name of the movie, but here is another one with Billy Branch, this time with Patrick Swayze, filmed in Checkerboard Lounge. Billy Branch plays some sort of heavy.

Here is Billy Branch in an award winning commercial for Berghoff's Beer - not a movie but cool nevertheless.

"Roots" featured Taj Mahal. With the magic of rewind and pause I seek out the harp player, good or bad. Many times they don't get credit so I have to dig deeper.

I never knew Buffet was young once. Go figger.

Are the 'Blues Brothers I and II too obvious?

The new movie about James Brown, "Get on Up", is good and its right next to the blues.
