Synopsis by Matthew Tobey

Few states can even come close to rivaling the rich musical heritage of Louisiana. From country to rock & roll to Cajun to zydeco to jazz, and on and on, the roots of American music are in Louisiana. This documentary from director Michael Murphy takes a look at the state's rhythmic history and features live performances by the likes of Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Buckwheat Zydeco, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, the Neville Brothers, and many others.
