Feel Like Going Home 2003

(film) Directed by Martin Scorsese Written by Peter Guralnick Director Martin Scorsese (The Last Waltz, Raging Bull, Gangs of New York) pays homage to the Delta blues. Musician Corey Harris travels through Mississippi and on to West Africa, exploring the roots of the music. The film celebrates the early Delta bluesmen through original performances (including Willie King, Taj Mahal, Otha Turner, and Ali Farka Toure) and rare archival footage (featuring Son House, Muddy Waters, and John Lee Hooker). Says Scorsese: “I’ve always felt an affinity for blues music — the culture of storytelling through music is incredibly fascinating and appealing to me. The blues have great emotional resonance and are the foundation for American popular music.“ Performances in Feel Like Going Home Corey Harris John Lee Hooker * Son House * Salif Keita Habib Koité Taj Mahal Ali Farka Toure Otha Turner Muddy Waters * Keb’ Mo’ Willie King Lead Belly * *indicates archival performance Interviews in Feel Like Going Home Corey Harris Sam Carr Toumani Diabate Willie King Dick Waterman Taj Mahal Johnny Shines * Otha Turner Ali Farka Toure Habib Koité Salif Keita Keb’ Mo’
