I like Eastwood & the blues but this is a pretty underwhelming & disjointed effort to... actually I don't know what it's attempting. Clint sits down with some legendary players & asks them the most banal questions. There's a nice conversational setting but it never gets past the initial awkwardness to relax into anything that interesting. Archival snippets, rushed performances & mostly dry superficial discourse that fail to cut open the subject or present the music in any proper context.
