Director- producer John Junkerman provides a vivid, organic portrait of American music and the survival of its root influences in this four-part odyssey down the Mississippi. Starting near one of its sources in northern Minnesota, River of Song augments the familiar blues and jazz traditions associated with the river to explore other musical cultures along the way, with this third segment picking up the strains nurtured in the mid-South, Memphis, and the fabled Delta country. Kentucky yields the venerable white gospel fervor of the Boundless Love Quartet, while Arkansas is home base for rockabilly survivor Sonny Burgess, a contemporary of better-known, Sun Records legends Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Elvis himself.

Director- producer John Junkerman provides a vivid, organic portrait of American music and the survival of its root influences in this four-part odyssey down the Mississippi.

It is a celebration of song and dance, an international phenomenon that has swept across the globe like a tidal wave of soaring faces and stomping feet. Gumboot dancing was born out of the oppressive gold mines of South Africa. Forbidden to speak and in almost complete darkness, the slave laborers developed their own language by slapping their gumboots and rattling their ankle chains. In time, it has developed into a truly unique dance form that has captured an international audience. Unrivaled in its energy and physicality, "Gumboots" celebrates the body as a musical intrument, while highlighting South Africa's rich and complex culture. Songs: Nelson Mandela, Paulina, Ta La Li La Le, Joburg, Shosholoza, Egoli, City of Gold, Sibiziwe Amazinyo Amhlophe, Who's Foolin' Who?, I'm Too Sexy,... Less

Josh White was a key figure in the evolution of the folk and blues music revivals, a brilliant guitarist and dashingly sexy cabaret star who for three decades was the world's most popular acoustic blues performer. After a childhood leading blind street singers through the South, Josh was a popular recording artist in the 1930s golden age of acoustic blues; then in the 1940s he became the first bluesman to capture a large mainstream audience. Though his smooth, polished style is quite unlike the harder-edged approach that many people now consider basic to blues, his unique, lyrical guitar work and soulful singing made him a formative influence on the international folk scene. This video begins with a rare filmed snippet from the 1940s, then includes a range of European performances from... Less
