The Blue Highway (A Journey, Blues to America) 

The wind through the plantation homes in the Mississippi Delta to the south-side clubs and tenements Chicago after the war. Meanwhile dreary journey, condescending, and even sad, too charming and delightful - and convincing in its success. More than a chronological history of blues music. Blues born on the West African shoreline fell from the horizon. It was raised in the Deep South and institutionalized barbarism flourish in the dark heart of the biggest city in America. We owe blues to those who bear the pain of slavery in the eerie shadows of our collective soul. Blue Road, then, is dedicated to the men and women who travel outside the stupid us, and for those who can not.We all know that we are of all people bluesmakers may not be ranked as a football team or a mutual fund. I think, in fact, that we will never know who the true bluesmakers it or where they came from. Consider Griots of West Africa or the itinerant bluesman WC Handy found and lost in the Tutwiler train station in 1903. Consider all of Sloan Henry and we have not heard from the mother that we have. And consider those who have never crossed the street people from white historians or those who sing just for themselves.As the big trip, this is not just an autobiographical journey of a man traveling across the U.S. in an old van, dubbed Dancing Ghost, but a journey of self-discovery as well. Want to see a real American, he avoided major highways and stick with blue state and local roads-they are colored on the map. personal problems precipitated his journey, but did not prevent him from being fully involved in it and learn what you can about the places he goes through.Trip he recorded as bare bones. When he started, he had just lost his job. He equipped van to his home, and only carry what is needed with him sleeping bags and blankets, coolers Coleman practically empty gallon jug of water and a basin to wash in Rubbermaid, portable toilets, some utensils and pans, some clothes, a camera, 2 books, stationery, and very little cash
