  6. Omnibus Season 31 Episode 5 - Sweet Home Chicago
    0.0/10(0 votes)
    S31:E5

    When southern blues musicians moved north in the years after the war Chicago was an obvious destination, offering day jobs in Industry and night work in the clubs. Of the record labels reflecting this migration the most successful was Chess, and the fascinating story of Chicago blues is therefore also a procession through the tiny Chess studios, from Muddy Waters to the Roiling Stones, who took their name from one of Waters's songs and helped spread the music to Europe. Mick Jagger talks of his debt to Chicago blues, and the great survivors like Buddy Guy tell their own tale, interspersed with priceless archive footage of artists like Chuck Berry , Howlin' Wolf and Little Walter.
