"An uncompromisingly independent filmmaker, Les Blank (Burden of Dreams) made documentaries for nearly fifty years, elegantly disappearing with his camera into cultural spots rarely seen on-screen, mostly on the peripheries of the United States, but also occasionally abroad. Seemingly off-the-cuff yet poetically constructed, these films are humane, sometimes wry, always engaging tributes to musicians, food, and all sorts of regionally specific delights."@en
"A deeply moving tribute to the Texas songster, Mance Lipscomb, considered by many to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Before he was discovered by Chris Strachwitz in 1960, Mance lived by sharecropping, surviving the brutality of a system not much better than slavery. The film captures Mance's music and sets it off with scenes of his hometown of Navasota."
