Au cours des années soixante, le Royaume-Uni a connu une profonde révolution sociale. Londres, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester et Newcastle possédaient toutes leur propre scène musicale. Des musiciens de Belfast et Glasgow venaient à Londres pour prendre part à cette révolution musicale des clubs. A cette époque, le jazz traditionnel d'après-guerre et les mouvements de renouveau du folk ont constitué le terrain fertile qui a permis l'émergence d'un nouveau genre de musique blues, entièrement influencé par l'authentique black blues des Etats-Unis. Cette musique était nouvelle en ce que certains musiciens majeurs ont remodelé le blues américain d'une manière complètement personnelle pour l'adapter à l'éveil de la conscience du Royaume-Uni lors des sixties. Red, white and blues examine les circonstances de cette période de mutation.

For some 30 years, they embodied "country blues" for folk music audiences around the globe. Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee were once ubiquitous, and as such tended to be taken for granted in the halcyon days of the 1960s blues rediscoveries. But nearly two decades have passed since the perennial team parted, and the 16 performances here remind us of this superb duo's complementary strengths.

The story of seminal guitarist and singer Bert Jansch, from his early days in Edinburgh, Scotland, to becoming the acoustic guitarist that everyone wanted to be. As a teenager, in the early 1960's Bert sat at the feet of Brownie McGhee at the Howff Folk Club in Edinburgh mesmerised by 'Key to the Highway'. Armed with that raw American Blues influence and a bewildering technique, he fashioned sublime interpretations of traditional and blues music on the acoustic guitar. The result was music that had a profound influence on a generation of musicians including Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Neil Young, and it still inspires todays' generation of guitarists and singers.

The Midnight Special is an American late-night musical variety series that aired on NBC during the 1970s and early 1980s, created and produced by Burt Sugarman. It premiered as a special on August 19, 1972, then began its run as a regular series on February 2, 1973; its last episode was on May 1, 1981. The ninety-minute program followed the Friday night edition of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. The show typically featured guest hosts, except for a period from July 1975 through March 1976 when singer Helen Reddy served as the regular host. Wolfman Jack served as the announcer and frequent guest host. The series also occasionally aired vintage footage of older acts. As the program neared the end of its run in the early 1980s, it began to frequently use lip-synched performances rather than live. The program also featured occasional comedic performances such as Richard Pryor and Andy Kaufman.
