| A definitive overview of Blues, from its earliest recordings over 80 years ago, to contemporary artists and new recordings made specifically for this 5 CD set. Includes a comprehensive collection of the music from the seven films. Includes 116 tracks featuring new recordings of classic Blues songs by Bonnie Raitt, Cassandra Wilson, Keb' Mo', Corey Harris, Robert Cray, Shemekia Copeland, Los Lobos and others! The box set also contains a 60-page booklet with photos and essays, including an introductory essay by Martin Scorsese. "The blues is at once American and worldly," said Martin Scorsese, who began work on the project six years ago. "It's a form of storytelling that is so universal that it has inspired people beyond our borders and continues to influence music here and abroad. We're hopeful that the series and YEAR OF THE BLUES will introduce new audiences worldwide to this music and also inspire kids, whether they like rock or hip hop, to better understand the struggles and genius that gave birth to what they listen to today."
"Our goal never was to produce the definitive work on the blues," Scorsese added. "It was, from the start, to create highly personal and impressionistic films as seen through the eyes of the most creative directors around with a passion for this music."
The Blues is the culmination of a great ambition for Scorsese — to honor the music he loves, to preserve its legacy and to work closely with talented feature film directors united in their desire to celebrate this art.
