Last of the Mississippi Jukes is an 85-minute documentary that explores the Mississippi "juke joints" where the Blues was born--from the shabby holes in the wall where the likes of Muddy Waters honed their styles to the newer clubs and lounges still extant today. Robert Mugge's film features interviews and performances at Jackson's historic Subway Lounge (as well the community's efforts to save it from demolition) and Clarksdale's Ground Zero Blues Club (co-owned by actor Morgan Freeman). That most of the featured musicians are virtual unknowns outside the area hardly... lessens their appeal or diminishes the fun of this entertaining film, which also features considerable bonus footage (including an interview with Freeman). --Sam Graham [show more]
