The last of the original Mississippi Delta Blues musicians but unfortunately recently departed, David Honeyboy Edwards was a man who not only sang of hard times, he lived them. First hand accounts of sharecropping, jumping freight trains and playing juke joints by Edwards and his generation are soon to be lost, leaving such stories to history books and archival films. Originally intended to preserve this rare view of Americana, the film Honeyboy does that and much more.
Directed by Scott Taradash and Produced by Rob Perkins, this film also features Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, BB King, Robert Cray and Lucinda Williams.Available HERE
