Devil Got My Woman: Blues At Newport 1966 (1966) Rating: Starring: Brown, Rev. Pearly, Son House, Skip James, Bukka White, Howlin' Wolf Director: Category: Music Studio: Vestapol Subtitles: Length: 60 mins     Featuring Skip James, Howlin' Wolf, Rev. Pearly Brown, Son House, and Bukka White Imagine you've stumbled into a juke joint where the mentor of Robert Johnson, Son House, and the idol of the Rolling Stones, Howlin' Wolf, 'dis one another. Picture a place where Wolf taunts Bukka White while the robust Parchman Farm alumnus spins his proto-funk dance grooves and the spectral Skip James weaves his haunting "Devil Got My Woman." It's an archetypal blues "crossroads" where legends of the 1920s Delta and 1950s Chicago share the same musical space, suspended out of time in a super-real present, a non-specific "bluestime." This is no fantasy. You enter this very juke joint in Devil Got My Woman, a DVD of extraordinary powerful footage Alan Lomax captured during the 1966 Newport Folk Festival. Devil Got My Woman is not, however, concert footage from Newport. Alan Lomax recreated a juke joint at Newport, stocked the bar, and let nature take its course. The resultant film footage captures the blues experience in its first and truest milieu, one in which African-American men and women drink, dance, and share their troubles and triumphs. Brooding faces absorbing the wailing pleas of Son House and rubber-legged dancers strutting to Bukka's buoyant blues are as much a part of the mise-en-scene as the legendary principals of the cast, themselves more relaxed and unguarded than in any comparable performance footage. A heretofore-unseen glimpse of a unique blues summit, Devil Got My Woman offers a bracing reminder of this music's elemental vitality and the blues culture which nurtured it.
