It's a Mean Old World and Born in The Blues
Present compelling portraits of two traditional black musicians: Rev. Pearly Brown, a bottleneck guitarist and gospel singer; and Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, a famous blues artist for over three decades. Despite the different sources of inspiration for their music, both had in common a touching eloquence in their singing and playing, and , as evident in these films, a dignity and strength of character that was not crushed by the hard lives they led.
