Editorial Reviews:

You See Me Laughin' is a full length documentary that takes a look at the often untamed lifestyles of the last great North Mississippi bluesmen and the Oxford, MS based label- Fat Possum Records- that struggles to record them. The film is an exciting collage of exclusive interviews, live performances and personal anecdotes. It includes rare, black and white footage of RL Burnside from 1974, disturbingly funny stories about touring told first hand by Iggy Pop and John Spencer Blues Explosion as well as an interesting encounter with Junior Kimbrough described by Bono from U2 and much more. This is not for the faint of heart.

Summary: The preservation of an American art form
Comment: A moving documentary of the struggles of not only the musicians but of two men trying to record, promote, and preserve a form of the blues that is truly original, timeless, and captivating. Both the musicians and producers are clearly not in it for the money because there is none. No this is clearly done for the love of the music. I do not wish to prejudice anyones opinion of the film prior to viewing so I'll just leave it for you to enjoy.

Summary: Another "Must Have" DVD
Comment: If any music DVD is a prime example of the old adage "when you find a good chord, stick to it" this one is it. It is a fascinating look at the lives of some great rural blues musicians and a lesson that blues music does not need to be complex to be powerful. These guys play the simplest of riffs yet still make the hairs on your neck stand on end. Great stuff and a lesson to all the Eric Clapton wanabees.

Summary: Well Well Well!!!
Comment: "You See Me Laughin"! If you like your blues with grit, then get this video. The interviews with T-Model, Rule Burnside, and especially Cedell's story are worth the price of admission with the added bonus of footage from Junior Kimbrough's JukeJoint.
I've bought a few good ones lately but this video is probably the best in the collection.

Summary: Nothing short of amazing
Comment: This documentary is nothing short of amazing. The constant undertow of great blues music and the musical cadence of the storytelling bluesmen make the experience of watching hypnoticly compelling. I can watch this again and again. I love sharing it with others too.
This is not just for music snobs and know-it-alls. Whether you are already a fan of the genre, or someone who knows nothing about the blues, but just like the sound, you will be drawn in. Not at all dry or overproduced, never boring, this low-budget doc is close to perfect. I've bought the music of all the performers as a result. I'm sure they've already blown their share of the money on something. :)
