AND THIS IS FREE: The Life and Times of Chicago's Legendary Maxwell Street Set
Book with DVD & CD.
Maxwell Street was the Ellis Island of the Midwest for 100 years. Other market streets existed, but Maxwell Street was the biggest and brassiest, combining a kaleidoscope of races and religions, businessmen, hustlers, blues musicians, pushcart vendors, preachers, and more.
This multi-pack set includes DVD, CD and a 36 page book. The DVD includes the classic 1964 documentary on Maxwell Street, "And This Is Free," and "Maxwell Street - A Living Memory." The CD features Maxwell Street blues fixtures including greats like Robert Nighthawk, Baby Face Leroy, Floyd Jones, J.B. Hutto, Big John Wrencher, Jimmie Rogers, and many more. The booklet features writers who were there delighting in the panorama of entertainment, and it also includes many beautiful period photos. Incredible historical footage in both films on the DVD!!

Awesome! What a set. The early blues on the CD is really fine, and includes two tracks of Muddy Waters playing with Little Walter and Baby Face Leroy. And the DVD is super. Both films are an incredible historic view of the street scene of Maxwell Street. The hustle, the culture, the music--a way of life. And the book tells the story from writers who spent years working or growing up on Maxwell Street. They might call it a living history workshop for people smarts. You can't go wrong.
