Desperate Man Blues

Record collector Joe Bussard parties like it's 1929! A cultural scavenger, musician and broadcaster, he was a pioneer in the preservation of 78rpm records and the roots music produced in pure and undiluted form in the 20s and 30s. Bussard has rescued priceless shellac artefacts from attics and basements across the US for more than 50 years. He has amassed a vast collection of more than 25,000 rare discs. At 65 Bussard has the enthusiasm and energy of a 16-year-old and will happily spin 75-year-old records all day for anyone who will listen. All the while he gives a running commentary on the music and performer, reliving the day it was made and relating some crazy tale of how he came to rescue the record!

很对我胃口，被采访的主角是个极有个性的老布鲁斯唱片收集者。对音乐的痴迷，对于旧时代的乐迷而言，会有很多共鸣。理智一些的评分，我给4星；对于骨灰级乐迷，我5星推荐。(虽然主角把摇滚看作是音乐界的癌细胞，个人以为"商业化"才是癌细胞)。
