Carried Off

In March 2011, Rose Candis had the worst lunch of her life. Sitting at a restaurant in Shaoguan, a small city in South China, the American mother tried hard not to vomit while her traveling companion translated what the man they were eating with had just explained: her adopted Chinese daughter Erica had been purchased, and then essentially resold to her for profit. The papers the Chinese orphanage had shown her documenting how her daughter had been abandoned by the side of a road were fakes. The tin of earth the orphanage had given her so that her daughter could always keep a piece of her home with her as she grew up in the U.S. was a fraud, a pile of dirt from the place her daughter’s paperwork was forged, not where she was born.

♪♫ The Howlin' Wolf Story: The Secret History of Rock and Roll (Director's Cut 2003)

Howlin' Wolf is a legendary figure in blues music, with an influence that has seeped into the pantheon of rock 'n' roll via influential figures namechecking him, such as Keith Richards. His life story is presented here, tracing his career back to its roots, and following his battle against hardship as he strove to get his music across to a wider audience. Unfortunately this only occurred posthumously, but luckily director Don McGlynn has exhumed a welter of material from the vaults, much of which has never previously been made public. Discover a blues original for yourself with this fascinating, in-depth documentary.
Includes: Rare footage of Howlin' Wolf presented by the Rolling Stones on Shindig performing "How Many More Years?"First presentation of previously unknown or unavailable performance footage. Drummer Sam Lay's rare, never-before-seen home movies of stars of the Chicago Blues clubs from the early '60s. Newly discovered photos of Howlin' Wolf and his band.

(Bonus repost of Dutch Radio '2 Meter Sessies' from November 1996. Little Axe recorded 'Return', 'Ride On', 'Black Diamond Train', 'Storm is Rising and 'Going Down Slow', but 'Return' and 'Black Diamond Train' weren't part of the original broadcast. The technicians were blown away by Keith LeBlanc and Doug Wimbish, 'the tightest rhythm section ever recorded' in their studio.)
