0:00:12 > 0:00:14Don't you hear the music?
0:00:17 > 0:00:19I hear it.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31'Would you please welcome Seasick Steve!' CHEERING
0:00:31 > 0:00:34'Born in Oakland, California, spent a lot of time in Tennessee.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36'Now living in Norway.'
0:00:36 > 0:00:38'He's been a hobo, a cowboy, a busker.'
0:00:38 > 0:00:39'A one-man blues orchestra.'
0:00:39 > 0:00:43'You will not see another man as emotive as this.'
0:00:43 > 0:00:46'Everyone's Talkin' About The Blues from Seasick Steve.'
0:00:46 > 0:00:48'The unique Seasick Steve!'
0:00:48 > 0:00:52CHEERING
0:01:06 > 0:01:09# I went down to the crossroads
0:01:12 > 0:01:14# Fell down on my knees... #
0:01:14 > 0:01:17We're just outside of Clarksdale.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Clarksdale, Mississippi.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I've been living away from America for a long time now.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27When I come here, I go on a search for...
0:01:27 > 0:01:31looking for my past a little bit and stuff like that.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Also, I always get inspired again.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I don't know what it is, something like triggers me
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and it's like I get recharged a little bit
0:01:40 > 0:01:42to play my crazy music.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46# I went down to the crossroads
0:01:46 > 0:01:48# Tried to flag a ride... #
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I can't think of myself as a blues player,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I just know I liked this kind of music since I was a kid.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55All that blues music come from
0:01:55 > 0:01:58a really tight area around here, you know.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01They all either lived here or come from here, you know.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson
0:02:05 > 0:02:07and people like John Lee Hooker.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11For me, this place is thick in the air with that history.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I just come down here and it affects me, you know.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17The minute I cross over that Mississippi state line
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I feel different.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Mississippi and some parts of Tennessee,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34they're just in a funny way like
0:02:34 > 0:02:36how America used to be, you know.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39A lot of America don't look the same no more.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Literally, they tore down everything and built shopping malls.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45But here this place looks old and funky.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I know that the America that I remember
0:02:51 > 0:02:54and used to write about, it just ain't there no more.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56But that's all right.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59You know, I ain't the same person no more either
0:02:59 > 0:03:02but you know, I's looking for it.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23There's Hopson over there on the right.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Right there is a famous plantation, boy.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30This is the stopping point for... A lot of old bluesmen
0:03:30 > 0:03:34actually worked there, like Pinetop Perkins, Robert Clay
0:03:34 > 0:03:38and people like Robert Johnson and Charlie Patton
0:03:38 > 0:03:41had some times there. It seems unreal
0:03:41 > 0:03:43these people would go and work and on the weekend,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46in one of these places out here, they'd have a little party
0:03:46 > 0:03:50and that would be where the blues is being played.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Hotter than a firecracker. Wowee.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Hard to imagine picking cotton when it's this hot.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Oh, man, a ten- or 12-hour day leaning over.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It's a hard world.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03This here is Juke Joint Chapel. That's what they call it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07And it is like an old cotton gin.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11They made it into kind of like a club,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13a concert place.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Me and Cedric and Malcolm,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Cedric Burnside and Lightning Malcolm said we're gonna play,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21we're just gonna set up and play.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23We've got all these funny signs around.
0:05:23 > 0:05:30We've got all the iron corrugated and like a little stage up here.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Look at big old bug. It's a big old mosquito.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Yeah, this place is funky.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12# All my life I been in the dog house
0:06:12 > 0:06:15# I guess that just where I belong
0:06:16 > 0:06:19# That just the way the dice roll
0:06:20 > 0:06:21# Do my dog house song
0:06:24 > 0:06:28# It ain't the kinda blues ya have for one day
0:06:28 > 0:06:30# Ya have it ya whole life long

0:06:43 > 0:06:45# Sing the dog house
0:06:45 > 0:06:48# Aoooh! The dog house
0:06:48 > 0:06:51# Sing the dog house song!... #
0:06:53 > 0:06:57My girl, she said, "You been sitting here in the front room
0:06:57 > 0:07:00"playing this ... for 25 years,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02"but I don't want you in the front room so go in the kitchen
0:07:02 > 0:07:05"and record some songs for me before you drop over it."
0:07:05 > 0:07:07So I went in there and recorded the song
0:07:07 > 0:07:10and then this friend of mine over in England he called me up.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12"Have you been recording?"
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I says, "Yeah, I made some stuff for my girl, I'll send it."
0:07:16 > 0:07:18They made that into a record and then I got all famous.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22That record sold over 100,000 records.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- Congratulations.- Yeah, I made it in the kitchen. In the kitchen.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Now I'm gonna tell you my story.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35My mom an' dad broke up when I was four years old.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39When I was seven, she went and got herself a stepdaddy.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44He was all right for a while.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49But the stepdaddy went, "Oh, what handsome young boys you have."
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So after they got married,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00the boy started beating us a little bit.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05And one day, he come into my bedroom
0:08:08 > 0:08:10and he threw me through the window.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I packed my ... and left.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I was 14 years old.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23But I figured I'd do better on my own.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Things turned out all right. Look at me now.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30CHEERING
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I don't know why things were so bad.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39They're all right now.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I just gonna keep playin' my dog house blues, yeah!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46# Sing the dog house song
0:08:49 > 0:08:50# Aoooh!... #
0:08:50 > 0:08:53'Just in the last six months or a year
0:08:53 > 0:08:56'all of a sudden I can do whatever I want, all of a sudden, you know.'
0:08:56 > 0:08:58After years.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01It's like one of them Candid Camera things.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04All of a sudden, they go "We're taking all your money away now,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07"go back and live under a bridge."
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I'm gonna wake up and this'll all be like some dream.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12I wasn't even here.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19TRAIN HORN
0:09:28 > 0:09:32A hobo is someone who travels but looks for work.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36And a tramp is someone who travels but doesn't want wanna work.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40A bum is someone who doesn't travel and doesn't look for work.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I have been all three.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46I had a real bad family life
0:09:46 > 0:09:48and I needed to get away.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I wasn't great at school
0:09:50 > 0:09:52and I wasn't great at the guitar.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55But what I got real great at is wandering around.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58A professional wanderer.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I mean, I know it sounds silly, but that's a skill.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05You gotta be resourceful, willing to ask where to go to work,
0:10:05 > 0:10:10find places to sleep and also I just had my wits about me
0:10:10 > 0:10:14so I didn't killed or beat up or hurt somehow, you know.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17But I've always been, like, an optimist, you know,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I always think things are gonna be better.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23I think when you travel, if you always think it's gonna be better
0:10:23 > 0:10:25in the next town, over the next hill it's a good thing.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I can smell bread. I'm hungry like a dog.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47That's the one thing in America, man.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You can get yourself a good breakfast.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52When times are good and there's food to eat, I eat it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55So now I'm eating, I'm gonna turn into a big round person.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00You got your secret notepad with you?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I know what I want by heart.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Eggs over easy,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07some hash browns,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09a side of grits
0:11:09 > 0:11:11and bacon and wheat toast.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16That was a bit of fun last night, though.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Just a little bit of a play out in the middle of nowhere.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Just got some friends together.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I don't get to do that too much now, you know.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Like I could have gone into a club in Chicago
0:11:28 > 0:11:31with all these, like, normal blues players,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33they would just think it's some nonsense,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35but with Cedric and Malcolm and those guys, they play
0:11:35 > 0:11:40sort of one chord, let's go play for eight hours kind of music.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49If I'm here by myself, I would've been outta here in 15 minutes.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I eat and leave.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06I don't know why I cannot remember the name of this place.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I can't remember lots of things.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Where I am at now? This doesn't look like the place.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Shoot. Have I passed it talking to you all?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Oh, man.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Oh, man.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29The problem with me now is I've got so many towns in my brain.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34They've started to turn into one international town.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37My direction finder is all messed up now.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Which one's home?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42There ain't no home.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45That's the truth, there ain't no home.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I wish there was a home.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I surely do.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Just one place, I could say to you...
0:12:54 > 0:13:00That's your home... I drove right by when I was talking to you all.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I cannot believe it, man.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Dumb as a box of rocks.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08My favourite John Deere.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Why do you wear John Deere hats?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I don't know.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17I like 'em.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I like their tractors.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I'm a walking advertisement but they just don't know it.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27This is what I wanted.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29How often do you get a new hat, Steve?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Apparently, not often enough.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33What's that red one up there?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Give me one of them too.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I want to get me a tractor.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Some people when they get money want to buy a boat or a fancy sports car.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43I'm gonna get me a tractor.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Yeah, that'll look nice.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- 19.44, please. - You have a deal, man.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Appreciate it.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54This is what you've always worn?
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Some people might be thinking this is your kind of stage outfit.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Oh, yeah? All they have to do is come to my house
0:14:01 > 0:14:04or come with me when I go to the grocery store.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I don't have any other clothes.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Nope. This is all I got.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12I promise.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Como!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Four miles.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Memphis - 45 miles.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48Now we're in the heart of the Mississippi hill country, coming into Como.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Ain't much in Como, just one street.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53This is the end of the town that has nice houses.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I don't know what people do out here, though.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58There ain't nothing going on in this town.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00But this is where Mississippi Fred McDowell lived.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02We used to work at the gas station.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05The town just on the right over here,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07if you blink you're gonna pass it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10CHURCH BELLS CHIME
0:15:10 > 0:15:13That's it. One street.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Yeah, we're on the way to Sherman. Bring back the three-string guitar.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22This guitar only got three strings on it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25CROWD CHEERS
0:15:25 > 0:15:30I bought this guitar from a friend of mine, Sherman, down in Como, Mississippi.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31He called me on the phone and goes,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35"Steve, man, I got you the most amazing guitar."
0:15:35 > 0:15:39These three strings is what it had on it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43And they ain't even the right strings. They're in the wrong place.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I said, "What do you want for the guitar, Sherman?"
0:15:46 > 0:15:48He goes, "I want 75 bucks."
0:15:48 > 0:15:51But he told me the day before he paid 25 for it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Sherman's family have been on this farm since before the Civil War.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04That's a long time ago.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07What's up, Sherman?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I got the land yacht.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15What's going on?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- All right? - I'm hanging in there, Sherman.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22- Peter.- Oh, you remember Peter? - Yeah, yeah.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23How's it going, man?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- You're growing a beard.- Yes, sir.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28That's a good thing to have.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- That one right there. - I don't like ticks.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Let me get this. I got this horse spray.- Yeah.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41And they say it works good. I don't know.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43You don't know if it works yet?
0:16:43 > 0:16:48God damn, I knew coming out here I'd get something nasty growing on me.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53This'll probably help a lot of things on me(!)
0:16:55 > 0:16:58HE LAUGHS
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Up in Arkansas, man, they're having like a plague of ticks in the trees.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Tree ticks. They come down and drop on you.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- This is the worst year I've ever seen.- Yeah.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14You're a nasty little dog. He's full of ticks.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Now, Sherman.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18You're gonna laugh at this.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Oh, Lord!
0:17:24 > 0:17:25That's cool, man.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30It says, "Paid 75 for this guitar from Sherman Cooper, Como, Mississippi."
0:17:30 > 0:17:34This guitar, Sherman, it's, like, worth so much money now.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Not because it got any better, but just cos it got famous.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43We gotta take this back and hang it back on your wall, Sherman,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46so it can come back home.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47This is my trademark now.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50This guitar has done me the greatest favour in my whole life.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53This thing got a mojo you don't even believe.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I come out and put this up and people scream.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00You know what, this is kind of a mysterious place, anyway.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04This happened before.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- OK.- Yeah, things I bring here... - Go out in the world and do things.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10- Yeah.- I'll be damned.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14How much do I owe you?!
0:18:20 > 0:18:21We should go for a drive.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Are those new speakers there?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25That's some serious speaker.
0:18:25 > 0:18:31Wait till you hear it. Serious. It's too serious for this little old van.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- You're gonna shake this thing apart, Sherman.- I'll tell you.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39- You're a big music fan, Sherman? - Yeah, man, I have been for years.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I like the blues.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46# If you see my milk cow... #

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Oh, man, that's a good watermelon.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59That was an unexpected pleasure.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Como, Mississippi watermelon.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08You guys, thank you.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24# I've been moved to Memphis

0:22:28 > 0:22:31# You move so slow you'd have to be deaf and blind
0:22:31 > 0:22:34# To have the train leave you behind. #
0:22:34 > 0:22:39I try to look at the past in the G-rated version.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44I think about it, but I just change it a little bit so it's nicer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47But I think about it when I write songs.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52I think one of the most things that influenced me was all this here.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54The train.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Somehow about moving.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02You're not supposed to ride trains. They're not legal to ride.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05You can get into a lot of trouble riding trains.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09But I used to ride them. It's just a way to get around.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12You don't pay no money and you can go a long way.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17A nice big old jug of water and some sandwiches, something to sit on.
0:23:17 > 0:23:23Getting out in the country. Get going about 40 or 50mph.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25The wind blowing. It's nice.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27You're going somewhere for free.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I don't know if that means so much anymore
0:23:30 > 0:23:33but a long time ago that meant something.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57# Listen here
0:23:57 > 0:23:59# Gotta keep rollin'
0:23:59 > 0:24:02# Movin' on
0:24:02 > 0:24:07# No matter how many times a man goes wrong
0:24:07 > 0:24:13# He ain't got no time to say goodbye
0:24:13 > 0:24:17# If he ever was to stop, he'd surely die. #
0:24:17 > 0:24:20When I came here in the late '60s it was pretty rough
0:24:20 > 0:24:24but now it's sprung back a bit with tourism and things like that.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27People coming looking for the blues and stuff like that.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31When I come here back in them days I was looking for the blues.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34# Man, turned out the lights. #
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Back in the '20s and '30s,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40all the blues guys who lived down in the Delta would come up 61.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42It would take you right to Beale Street.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44They'd play the streets or a club. It was a real place.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I don't know exactly what it is now.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52It can't be the same cos it's all white people and everything's gone.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56A lot of tourists come here cos they think this is where the blues is.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I'm sure there's some good people playing the blues on this street.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07It's like Disneyland. They like their blues straight up, you know.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12We start playing the old country blues, it's harder for people to understand that.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15We're right outside BB King's blues club.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19This place was real funky, man.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Like, drug dealers, prostitutes hanging on the street.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Look, man, you can even buy a blues toilet seat!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33# Oh
0:25:35 > 0:25:39# Baby, you gone lost your good thing now
0:25:44 > 0:25:49# Oh-oh-oh
0:25:49 > 0:25:54# Baby, you gone lost your good thing now
0:25:58 > 0:26:02# The way I used to love you
0:26:02 > 0:26:05# Baby, that's the way I hate you now. #
0:26:21 > 0:26:25This is Prospect X-over here at the end of Prospect Lane.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32# Oh, waitin' for the train
0:26:32 > 0:26:35# Today, yesterday, just the same
0:26:35 > 0:26:38# Oh, waitin' for the train
0:26:38 > 0:26:40# Down at the end of Prospect Lane
0:26:40 > 0:26:42# Oooh, hoo-hoo. #
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Most of my life I've had jobs of some sort or another.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I've tried to play music and sometimes I've done all right.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Sometimes I haven't done very good at all.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55I don't understand why all of a sudden I'm doing so good.
0:26:55 > 0:27:01Maybe because I'm doing finally doing exactly what I want to do.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Maybe there's something in that.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08I wish I would have known that like 40 years ago.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15A bit of fun playing it with the trains around.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Here we go now.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23# I got my ear down to the ground
0:27:23 > 0:27:26# Listenin' for that rumblin' sound
0:27:26 > 0:27:28# Deliver me from this town
0:27:28 > 0:27:31# Today I'm gonna be homeward bound. #
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I don't really wanna go sleep out under a bridge any more.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40I've done all the camping I want to do for the rest of my life.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42But I've missed the feeling...
0:27:42 > 0:27:44of having nothing and just being able to go.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48It's in my blood. I feel these trains.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50They pull on me.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55They pull on me.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I'm playing at this Albert Hall place.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07And for me, for real,
0:28:07 > 0:28:12I can't believe they let me in the place, much less let me play there.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I've seen this place only a few times.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I've never been there in my life, you know.
