| LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS/ ROOSEVELT SYKES | Yazoo DVD 513 | Lightnin' Hopkins & Roosevelt Sykes | ● DVD |
| DVD, approx 60 min, color, recommended Now on DVD. Apparently, this film comes from 1971-72 from a series called Artists In America. Each of the half hour segments is a documentary-style portrait of the artist as a blues man. An interview of Hopkins is cut with college concert footage, solo studio stuff, and cover shots of (presumably) Houston's black areas. As usual, Hopkins sounds good but he's sounded better, and they often cut away before he's finished his song. His stories of how he came to write various songs, including Short Haired Woman, are worth hearing, but you never get the idea that he's "opening up." The film makers who shot Sykes were seemingly more successful at getting at who he was. Highlights include Sykes interpreting the Bible while catching a fish, some concert shots that show him as happy as his audience, and his grandson singing I'm A Nut. (JC) |
