I've found the perfect accompaniment to the whiskey. Go here, and feast yr eyes and ears upon four episodes of the BBC's landmark late-70s series, The Devil's Music. I don't really need to tell you what it's about, do I?
Oh, and Alexis Korner's* sideburns are really quite something...
*Thankfully he's presenting, not singing.

I guess the Devil is to blame for me not being able to watch this in u.s.
ReplyDeleteJust on more reason to hate his a**.
I'll have a check and see if it's up anywhere else, but in the meantime, I cannot recommend highly enough the book the series was based on, written by Giles Oakley, which can be got here:

They might have a dvd, if it's been released like that, up at Cathead Records in Clarkesdale.
ReplyDeleteThey keep a pretty good selection of documentaries and books.
