Description: A deeply moving tribute to the Texas songster, Mance Lipscomb, considered by many to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Before he was discovered by Chris Strachwitz in 1960, Mance lived by sharecropping, surviving the brutality of a system not much better than slavery. The film captures Mance's music and sets it off with scenes of his hometown of Navasota.
