"A straightforward look at blues pianist Mose Vinson - the interviews from his boyhood home in Mississippi intercut with the man at his piano, singing in his soulful wail, which is where he really shines." -- LA Weekly
"'We called him Mr. Boogie Woogie,' Memphis Slim explains, in his affectionate tribute to his less successful colleague...Vinson's Holly Springs boyhood as the son of a Saturday Night musician, his failure as a sharecropper, his involvement with the Baptist church, his lonely life now...all are captured with striking visuals....The intimacy that the small-format video medium can provide is displayed here to its fullest extent...Vinson's world is beautiful, troubled, and important." --Film Library Quarterly.
Special Features Include: Mose Vinson Plays the Blues (audio)
Additional Film: Just Between Me and God
