Jim White narrates and takes the viewer on Jim's own personal sojourn thru the deep south.
Strange and compelling individuals and musicians crop up throughout.
It's a fascinating and awesome piece of work,serving as an introduction to the bizarre and twisted swamp-blues world of the great Johnny Dowd,16 Horsepower,The Handsome Family and Jim White himself.
Johnny Dowd performing 'There's Been A Murder Here Today' in the back of a barber shop and Harry Crews stumbling down a country road spouting obtuse verse are pure poetry.
The film makes a tributary nod to Robert Johnson by leaving a statue of the virgin Mary at the crossroads.
Anyone who has a passing interest in modern day blues will find themselves tracking down the music of the featured artists without a doubt.
This is truly a masterpiece and a future cult classic
