Walk With Me: Lucious Spiller, Called to Sing the Blues
In his own words, Lucious Spiller was “born to sing the blues.” The gifted guitarist and compelling singer makes his home in Clarksdale, Mississippi, where history and daily life come together to shape a living blues tradition. “Walk With Me” goes inside Lucious’ personal journey, sharing a typical week, meeting friends and artists around town, engaging audiences at Red’s Juke Joint and Ground Zero Blues Club, praising the Lord at a Sunday service, and carrying the blues to a performance in New York City.
