This video brings up a good discussion. I'll talk about that soon.

In a way this might have been a bit of a, "Blues Zoo" sadly.

This is what I find a bit off about this. From the Vestapool Video box: "Alan Lomax recreated a juke joint at Newport, stocked the bar, and let nature take its course." What the fuck is that? I was working for Rounder Distribution when the tape was released and I remember thinking how fucked up it was. I want to talk about that and the entire 1950s and 60s push to "rediscover" blues artists. They brought them to an audience but at what cost and how much was exploitative? Did Son House need more gin in his life? So you purposely put very competitive and strong artists together and just gave them booze to see what would happen and then film it? People might disagree with me but I think that's kinda fucked up. In 1966 it was fucked up. Then in 1996 to put it like that on the VHS tape box, "Let nature take its course" like they were some guinea pigs instead of legends to be respected. Read the book about Skip James or LeRoi Jones's "Blues People." I just don't think that the "discoverers" and handlers of these legends like Skip and Son had their best interests in mind. Wolf was already around but was he treated well throughout his career?
