Watch Cigarette Blues

This is a microcosmic Les Blank film in which bluesman Sonny Rhodes simultaneously addresses three of the filmmaker's longstanding obsessions: death, cigarette smoking, and the nature of the blues. Features Sonny Rhodes and the Texas Twisters performing at Eli's Mile High Club in Oakland, CA. This film, made with Alan Govenar, is more poignant given Les Blank died from smoking. 5 mins
