Members fretmonster Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 That of course is a Delta style blues artist by the name of Chris Thomas King who first gained fame as an actor in the movie "Oh Brother where art thou". This clip is from the movie by acclaimed director Wim Winders titled "Soul of a Man" which chronicles the lives of Blind Willie Johnson, Skip James and JB Lenoir. Rent it if you get the chance because it has some amazing performances by some contemporary artists like Lou Reed, Casandra Wilson, Los Lobos, Nick Cave, T Bone Burnett, Bonnie Rait and others covering their music as well.
