Charlie’s struggles are paralleled by the investigations of two 1961 blues researchers who believe that the legendary musician, who disappeared decades ago after being accused of murder, is still alive. It is their intention to exonerate him but they soon learn that they may be in over their heads. There are some mysteries that should be left unsolved.
This narrative feature film includes authentic locales, music, and cultural references from blues history, as well as cameos from a few of the genre’s greatest stars. Inspiration for this project was drawn from the music of Charley Patton, Skip James, Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Blake, Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt and other early American blues artists. The soundtrack will be written and recorded by Woody Mann.
