Born in Chicago

If you grew up in the sixties, and listened to The Butterfield Blues Band, and had your head totally spun around, in amazement, this is a film to watch. It has a lot of Butterfield, Bloomfield, and Bishop, and many more, young lunatic musicians, who learned to play, by playing with the masters. Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, and the rest. You'll see the Chess Records studio, that was unbelievably important. The Rolling Stones went when they came to America. Their tribute is the track, "2120 South Michigan Avenue".

The film explains how Chicago, became the epicenter of amplified blues.

It's really a great short film. All of 75 minutes.

I stumbled on it on Amazon Prime, but it's actually on FreeVee. It's free and really worth watching.

It's strange how this seems to have been made long ago, and never distributed or aired.

After watching this, go listen to EAST-WEST.

And wonder how the music of today compares.
