Description
Dutch Musicians Ad van Meurs & Ankie Keultjes are on a search for the way of life and the music that goes with it, in the Heartlands of The United States of America. A road movie featuring the stories of Cowboy Jack Clements, David Munyon and others. Accompanied by 10 track bonus CD, THE BIG MANITOU LOVES AMERICANA Chapter I Tom Skinner The uncrowned king of Tulsa folk and Americana, this stubborn but friendly giant is under no illusion as to the chances of becoming famous. You can see him playing in the honky tonks every weekend, with Don, Gene, Jay and many others, rocking to the unmistakeable beat of Jimmy Karstein, J.J. Cale s drummer: Oklahoma s heartbeat. Let s roll, let s roll, ...Good old Jimmy! RIVER PEOPLE Chapter II Writers, actors, enlightened types, and also difficult kids live here in Lupus MO, on the Missouri river. It s peaceful appearance radiates something threatening, uneasy, as though the river is a giant snake, biding its time. And this deceptive peace is spliced on the hour by the roar of a passing ght train. ANARCHY IN KANSAS Chapter III The Winfield bluegrass festival in Kansas has developed into a get-together for all that is hip, alternative, and able to hold a guitar, which fact has triggered a number of improvised venues around the festival. This year, floods caused a spontaneous exodus to any old place, lake-side: no electricity, no facilities, a smooth anarchy. We re following Truckstop Honeymoon from New Orleans, driven out by Katrina, and landed in Kansas. COUNTRY GIRL Chapter IV Once a country girl, always a country girl: the story of June Davis, Gene Davis widow. Gene Davis played guitar in Roger (King Of The Road) Miller s band, owned the famous Palomino Club in Los Angeles, and wrote for and played with the world s great musicians. However, the grass turned out to be greener, and nicely-mown, back home in Pevely, Missouri. Randy, June s son, is a rocker, plays drums in David Frizzell s country band, and is mostly on tour.
