10 pm You See Me Laughin' – The Last of the Hill Country Bluesmen (film)
In the early 2000s, director Mandy Stein drove through the Mississippi Delta to document the last living hill country bluesmen. The result is an evocative portrait of vibrant blues culture: CeDell Davis, impaired by polio in childhood, shows how to turn a butter knife into a bottleneck, R. L. Burnside recalls his first encounter with white blues aficionado Jon Spencer and his Blues Explosion. And T-Model Ford plays the blues in his very own explosive way.
