Dancing Down the Stony Road DVD:
This is a superb 75 minute documentary which tracks the entire process of recording 'Stony Road'. There are masses of guitar snippets and peeks at the musicians working (and arguing) in the studio. Rea's understanding of how the blues evolved from the Delta up to Chicago is a revelation.
If you're in any way interested in either the recording process or the ways in which a musician sets out to achieve and communicate his vision, then this is the DVD for you.
