Watch Monochrome: Black, White and Blue

This 3 part series re-sets trends of thinking about blues music and its roots. There have been and will continue to be documentation on 'Blues Music'. However, what Director Jon Brewer (BB King: The Life of Riley, Nat King Cole: Afraid of the Dark), discovered in his extended encounters in America's Deep South is that there was no music called 'blues' when the original creators stepped into a new feel of musical expressionism... there was simply pain and oppression and plenty of it, and the music was the salve that, if only momentarily, set them free.
