Summary Morgan Freeman continues his showcase of the development of American blues music, taking up the story with the 1960s musicians from across the world who blended and melded it with thumping electric rock to produce new sounds.The British blues boom saw white musicians like Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac and Eric Clapton take up the blues baton to move it to a new level.Where blues began as a soulful message of what was happening in a musician's life, as electric and then digitised music developed, it became entertainment. Blues and hip-hop married to produce the street sound for the new generation of black and whites in urban America.This modern soundtrack in turn connects blacks back to their African heritage.PRODUCTION DETAILS: Executive Producers: Terry Shand and Geoff Kempin. Written by Joe Cushley for Eagle Rock Entertainment Ltd
