There are a few perspectives in this film. The main being a historical perspective of workers, music and time. The other being the Blues music itself and how it is perceived. Blues music is strong and anyone who hears can not only hear, but also feel whatever emotional value the singer or band puts into a song. I agree with Alan Lenox perception that Blues music is valuable and should of been] valued for a longer period of time. An example, 40 minutes into the film Lomax mentions “And it was only their bluesy songs and the strength in working and singing together that kept their hearts alive under the Mississippi sun.” Music like the one in the film is not hear now days. The type where words come straight from the persons own heart.
