At a glance

Deep Blues: A Musical Pilgrimage to the Crossroads is a 91-minute documentary about Delta blues and North Mississippi hill country blues. Music critic and author Robert Palmer made it with documentary filmmaker Robert Mugge, in collaboration with David A. Stewart and his brother John J. Stewart. Filming took place in Memphis, Tennessee, and several counties in North Mississippi. The film’s theatrical release was in 1991, followed by a United Kingdom home-video release the next year and a soundtrack album. A United States consumer edition followed in 2000.
