Aroview: The fifth part of Martin Scorcese's TV mini-series celebration of one of America's quintessential musical forms "the Blues".

A interesting exploration of the Chicago blues scene, with dir. Levin juxtaposing elders like Muddy Waters and producer Leonard Chess, with modernday hip-hoppers like Chuck D, as they work on an updated version of Waters' 'Electric Mud'.

5 stars (Exceptional) Great doco on Chicago blues as seen through the eyes of Marshall Chess & rapper Chuck D. Marshall enthusiastically introduces great videos of the blues masters, while Chuck D. researches his own music's roots. Brilliantly conceived & edited. ~Sandy
