Crumb director Terry Zwigoff's first film is a true treat: a documentary about the obscure
country blues musician and idiosyncratic visual artist Howard "Louie Bluie" Armstrong,
member of the last known black string band in America. As beguiling a raconteur as he is a
performer, Louie makes for a wildly entertaining movie subject, and Zwigoff honors him with
an unsentimental but endlessly affectionate tribute. Full of infectious music and comedy,
Louie Bluie is a humane evocation of the kind of pop-cultural marginalia that Zwigoff would
continue to excavate in the coming years.

Director          ...    Terry Zwigoff

Howard Armstrong         ...        Himself
Ted Bogan         ...        Himself

The main film is untouched. The three extras on the DVD are audio commentary by director
Zwigoff, a picture gallery, and unused outtake footage (32:31@2422).
