The Road to Memphis: Directed by Richard Pearce. With Dr. Louis Cannonball Cantor, The Coasters, Jim Dickinson, Fats Domino. Director Richard Pearce traces the musical odyssey of blues legend B.B. King in a film that pays tribute to the city that gave birth to a new style of blues.

“While not quite my favorite of the films in u0026quot;The Bluesu0026quot; series, this portrait of blues great B.B. King, and of the city that spawned so much of the blues, has a host of great performances fun moments (including Bobby Rush and Roscoe Gordon among others), and interesting insights into the changing face of a city. (The difference between the rich reality of Beale street years ago, and the touristy nothing of now is quite sad). u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile it doesnu0026#39;t have the emotional impact of Wim Wenders u0026quot;The Soul of a Manu0026quot; or Scorseseu0026#39;s u0026quot;Feel Like Going Homeu0026quot;, thereu0026#39;s still plenty to see and hear for an interested fan.”
