CHASIN' THE BLUES

Toby Walker's Homemade Documentary. 

"Now you play those blues real good. I want you to carry them on for me." 
----- Eugene Powell, Greenville, MS

I've spent the last four decades keeping the African American music of the Blues and its history alive, performing for thousands of students and adults in the U.S., the British Isles, Europe and the Mediterranean. This homemade documentary represents my travels to the deep South where I learned the music, stories, and traditions from old-time musicians who were incredibly generous enough to teach me. While they have passed on, I am passing on their legacy.
