By Stephen Jeffreys

Set in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, “I Just Stopped by to See the Man” is a passionate and political ode to the power and truth of the blues.

It tells the story of Jesse Davidson, the greatest living bluesman, who is long believed dead, and who is living out his simple life with his activist daughter in a bare shack. Legend surrounds Jesse — like the story about him selling his soul to the devil so that he could play guitar. But when Karl, a famous English rocker who has been making a fortune off the legend’s tunes, stumbles into their solitude and probes for the truth about Jesse, he triggers a confrontation of mythic proportions.
