Reviews
When the music takes flight, it's a thing of beauty. Heartache never sounded so good.
Chris Knight, National Post
I was quietly blown away by Daniel Cross's new documentary I Am the Blues, which follows the Montrealer on a quest through the southern U.S. to track down the last remaining ambassadors of the genre.
