www.truedeltaproject.org    TRUE DELTA, directed by Lee Quinby and Daniel Cowen, is a cinematic snapshot of the Blues tradition that remains vibrant in and around Clarksdale, Mississippi--the renowned birthplace of the Blues--capturing the sweaty bravado and skill of the Blues musicians and singers on stage.  Additional interviews with church leaders, Blues historians, and local business owners show how intertwined the Blues is with the religious, economic, and cultural life of the Delta region.  Most compelling are the interviews with musicians and singers from the ages of 10 to 90, showing their commitment, their struggles, and their deep passion for the Blues, including James "Super Chikan" Johnson, James Lewis "T-Model" Ford, Grammy award-winner James "Jimbo" Mathus, and Guitarist/Vocalist Bill "Howl-N-Madd" Perry.
