Description	Crumb director Terry Zwigoff’s first film is a true treat: a documentary about the obscure country-blues musician and idiosyncratic visual artist Howard “Louie Bluie” Armstrong, member of the last known black string band in America. As beguiling a raconteur as he is a performer, Louie makes for a wildly entertaining movie subject, and Zwigoff honors him with an unsentimental but endlessly affectionate tribute. Full of infectious music and comedy, Louie Bluie is a humane evocation of the kind of pop-cultural marginalia that Zwigoff would continue to excavate in the coming years.

Sagging pants, no instruments, fluent in buckwheat. What is the matter with our black men today? Why doe's this great music have to die, when these old legends die? Everyone wants to be a rapper, a thug, a gangster. These guys speak Italian, Polish etc, and have art galleries.They were born playing this music and have been playing all their lives. Yet lil wayne and Jay-Z are given all the recognition when blacks give out awards. what a shame. Thank you old timers for the great talent you are and the good music you gave America to remember.
