“The soundtrack of a people”

A unique journey in the raw blues still played in the Mississippi back-country juke-joints through the recording adventures of the young and creative St-Louis-based Broke & Hungry label founded five years earlier (2006) by blues aficionado Jeff Konkel.

Jeff Konkel is the man who has also authored with his accomplice Roger Stolle three very interesting documentary films : "M For Mississippi: A Road Trip Through The Birthplace Of The Blues" (2008), “We Juke Up In Here: Mississippi's Juke Joint Culture At The Crossroads” (2012) and “Moonshine & Mojo Hands”, a 10-episode Web series released in 2014-2015 (links below). He once explained : “Blues music isn’t just the genre that has spawned rock ’n roll. It's always been the voice of a culture, the soundtrack of a people.” The soundtrack of a people... a magnificent definition !
