Blues like Showers of Rain is a music documentary from 1970, directed by John Jeremy. This film explores the rich heritage of African American blues through field recordings and photographs captured by Paul Oliver during his 1960 journey through the South.
This film is a bit of a hidden gem, often overshadowed by more commercially successful documentaries. It's available in limited formats, primarily on older VHS tapes, which can be hard to track down. Collectors seem to appreciate its authenticity and the unique perspective it offers on the blues, though it hasn’t reached the same level of notoriety as other music docs. The scarcity of well-preserved copies adds to its allure for those focused on the history of African American music.
