Experience Hendrix in association with Reelin’ In The Years Productions and Hip-O Records bring you
THE BRITISH TOURS 1963-1966 of the Grammy®-nominated American Folk Blues
Festival DVD series. Recorded live for TV broadcast throughout Britain, these historic
performances have been unseen for nearly 40 years.
“Voices — echoing down the years, the voices that changed my life, Son House, Bukka White, John Estes, Howlin' Wolf and so many more. I was at these shows in shabby provincial England in the mid-60s. Those eerie voices from another world lit up my life leaving me breathless, spooked and inspired for a lifetime. The performances from this series helped to illustrate the evolution of rock and roll from the Mississippi Delta to Lollapalooza.”- Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)
Filmed with superb camera work and pristine sound, The British Tours contains 14 complete performances
from some of the greatest blues musicians of all time and 4 bonus performances. Highlights include performances
by Blues legends Sonny Boy Williamson, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Big Joe Williams, Lonnie Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf and
Muddy Waters. Renowned female Blues vocalists Sugar Pie DeSanto with her powerful rendition of “Rock Me Baby”
and Sister Rosetta Tharpe belting out her classic “Trouble In Mind” are both featured on DVD for the first time ever.
“Things would have been a whole lot different in Britain without the American Folk Blues Festivals; they proved to be a rich legacy for musicians throughout Europe.”- Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones)
