You See Me Laughin'
Time Out says
In juke joints slightly larger than pool tables, Mississippi bluesmen created
the earthy sound that later fueled the rock revolution. Mandy Stein's modest
chronicle celebrates and demystifies these musical pioneers, and what the
documentarian finds is occasionally larger than life (Junior Kimbrough has 28
children, T-Model Ford was beaten so savagely that he lost a testicle). Besides
being revered artists, these musicians are also laborers and farmers with bills
to pay. There are no deals with the devil here—unless the horned one is a
record-company exec or mortgage broker.
