Down and dirty with 'The Blues' Scorsese, Eastwood lead PBS series LOS ANGELES, California (AP) --What would lure a high-flying filmmaker like Clint Eastwood into making a documentary for PBS? The blues, nothing but the blues. Eastwood, Martin Scorsese and five more directors offer their visions of the great American art form in "The Blues," a seven-part series airing 9 p.m. EDT Sunday, September 28, through Saturday, October 4 (check local listings). The blues-lovers' extravaganza opens with "Feel Like Going Home," in which Scorsese tracks the music's origins from Africa to the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta, and concludes with Eastwood's "Piano Blues." In between are "The Soul of a Man" by Wim Wenders; "The Road to Memphis" by Richard Pearce; "Warming by the Devil's Fire" by Charles Burnett; "Godfathers and Son" by Marc Levin and "Red, White and Blues" by Mike Figgis. Scorsese, the impetus behind the series, is inspired by music in general and the blues in particular. I didn't paste the whole article. Just wanted to get the dates/times up here.
