Essentialy a self told biography piece and and a damn good one at that. These are the hardest pieces to create. What to leave in what to leave out...and if the production values are not perfect, the story gets muddled.
No worries here. Buddy is comfortable and is enganged, telling stories about his favorite record, how live music influences him and a just the right pinch of the social realities of the blues.
Perfectly edited and produced. Stations who are not World Cafe subscribers should be able to find a place for this segment in a local news magazine or local music program.
