| From the early 1930's to the present,
Alan Lomax has been this nation's and perhaps the world's greatest
folklorist. Travelling the world for the Library of Congress to
collect the music, dance and culture of the world's ethnic societies,
Lomax has amassed a legendary archive of film and audio recordings
documenting the origins of most of the musical forms we now take
for granted.
Through Mr. Lomax, HISTORIC FILMS can now exclusively
make available previously unseen film footage of important roots
musicians who helped shape the sounds of contemporary rock and country
music. From Delta blues legends Howling Wolf, Son House and Skip
James to country music pioneers Flatt and Scruggs and Doc Boggs,
HISTORIC FILMS now has the one of a kind clips
of the musicians who helped put The House of Blues on the map. Exclusive.
