To make a great understatement, he's a man who certainly knows his music. He has over 25,000 78 records in his collection, with no particular way of organizing any of them, yet he knows where each one of them is! This is a wonderful dvd which gives us a glimpse into his life. At a time when nobody gave a damn about the Blues, Jazz and Old-Timey music, Joe went all around America collecting and buying these records. Sometimes he had to walk through streams or go through coal mines to get the records, but this didn't discourage him in the slightest. Because of him and his eccentricities, we all have access to this wonderful music; real American music, our music! My favorite part of the dvd is Joe visiting two old black men, after he gets a call from one of them, saying that they have some old records that might be of interest to Joe, and him playing the music of their particular heritage for them. They were previously unaware of black music from the 1920s and 30s, and you can see it on their faces that they are really loving this discovery that they're experiencing. I also love hearing Joe talk about how Jazz died in 1933 and how modern music, especially rap, is garbage. I most definitely recommend picking up this dvd. There are actually two different documentaries on the disc, plus a full performance by Son House and John Lee Hooker, respectively. I hope to meet Bussard some day. In many ways, I'm a lot like him, but he's done more for this music and this country than I'll ever be able to, and that's the truth. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2020* Great story of a legendary record collector. Joe is indeed the King of the record collectors, and he's an amusing character who doesn't take any BS from anyone. Get it. And be sure to watch all the extras. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Joe! *by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2015* Joe Bussard is a hero of record collecting. So glad he does what he does! This is a must buy for your favorite record collector! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/41484829-desperate-man-blues-discovering-the-roots-of-american-music](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/41484829-desperate-man-blues-discovering-the-roots-of-american-music) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-18*
