Bill Wyman, former bassist for The Rolling Stones, is your host for this documentary which offers a detailed look at the history of blues music. Bill Wyman: Blues Odyssey follows the rise of the blues in America as it travels from the Mississippi Delta and the Deep South to the big cities of New Orleans and Chicago, and then crosses the ocean to England, where the U.K.'s nascent rock 'n' roll scene helped spark a new interest and appreciation for the music. Bill Wyman: Blues Odyssey features performance footage of such legendary artists as Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Lightnin' Hopkins, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and many more. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Rod Jeffery (Beachhead) This doco has been floating around on the 'Ovation Channel' for around a month now and I finally managed to connect with it a couple of days back and set the VCR. Glad I did!It is a great insight into the influences on Bill Wyman's music since his days in Germany with the British Armed Services in the 1950s and shows perfectly the respect he has for what are essentially his mentors - the American bluesmen and women.There is some excellent and rare footage of everyone from 'Leadbelly' (Huddie Ledbetter), 'Big Joe' Williams, 'T-Bone' Walker and 'Sonny Boy Williamson II' (Aleck 'Rice' Miller) to Riley 'B.B.' King. With all the wonderful playing that entails along the way.Very much a piece for the connoisseur and the 'blues lover'!10/10!
