smokin' harp song with a fantastic amplified sound.  The lyrics are  vintage
Jimi Lee."

...and while Jimi's IS a great song, he's a  great guy...don't assume that 
it's THE one representative  of the movie because of its title.  
 
That honour goes to Peter 'Madcat' Ruth, whose song was chosen by the  
producers Todd and Marc out of hundreds of similarly titled 'pocket full of  soul' 
songs entered into the contest they conducted, to best represent their  movie.
 
Wish we didn't have to wait until 2009 to see it...but it should prove  to be 
well worth the wait...given the caliber of harmonica  performers/performances 
covered. These two young guys even came to SPAH a couple  of times....were 
down in front taping during Jason Ricci's Annual Harp Blow-Off;  I watched an 
indefatigable Marc hefting that heavy camera, capturing great  moments 
everywhere I'd turn during SPAH 2006 (Denver).  
 
Their documentary covers every aspect of harp playing. The DVD should  prove 
to be a 'must-have' collectible for harmonica players.  I know I'll  be first 
in line for a signed copy :)
