If you haven't already checked it out, Martin Scorsese did his own tribute to the blues, available on dvd, featuring blues greats.
Oh yes! 'Lightning in a Bottle'! I have that DVD and it's fantastic. I would also recommend Kenny Wayne Shepherd's 10 Days Out (Blues From the Backroads). His goal was to perform with several of the oldest remaining Blues pioneers and that is just what he did. He did not try to outshine them in any way, instead he showcased them for the influential talents that they are. Several died before he could even release it. It is an historical document of the blues, with people like Pinetop Perkins, Buddy Flett, Etta Baker, etc. It's wonderful.
