Reviews

“It's hardly surprising Martin Scorsese opted to chronicle the give and take between musicians from Africa and the Mississippi Delta for his personal contribution to The Blues series. Feel Like Going Home boasts impressive new performances and explanations of the past that should make it the most revisited title in the PBS series.”
– Phil Gallo, Variety

“Encyclopedically packed with vivid detail from the 20th century's treasure-house of recorded sounds and images. And, like them, it is primarily celebratory and educational.”
– Philip Horne, The Telegraph
