Copper Bottom Blues - ITV Perspectives
broadcast 2013-05-05

Hugh Laurie makes a musical pilgrimage across America to delve into the story of the country’s blues music in this final documentary in the series.
When Hugh Laurie was a boy he heard a recording of a concert so amazing it would have a profound effect on his life. It featured the blues legend Professor Longhair playing aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.
In tribute to this great performance we join Hugh Laurie as he gigs his way across America from the Eastern seaboard of New York to the West Coast of LA playing a concert in homage to his music hero aboard the very same ship.
Along the way Hugh plays the music that influenced him and helped him release a successful album in his own right. We learn why, as an Englishman raised on American music, Hugh has such a strong passion for the blues. The finale is his performance aboard the Queen Mary.
Hugh visits the studios of Ray Charles and plays the blues star’s own piano. He meets Muddy Waters’ son Mudd Morganfield, and duets with Jools Holland. Hugh’s long -time friend and fellow actor Stephen Fry drops into Hugh’s rehearsals to offer his support for the big finale.
Hugh explains the reason for his pilgrimage: “Every good blues song tells a story and in every good story there is a journey. This is a film of my journey and the culmination of a dream I’ve had since I was a teenager.
“As a child there was one musician in particular I loved and that is where the story begins.
“The Queen Mary was the site of a recording by Professor Longhair, the record was called Professor Longhair on the Queen Mary. It was an absolutely seminal record. We are going to the Queen Mary not to recreate the night of that recording but to offer a kind of tribute to a musician who just changed everything for me.
“Growing up not far from the Thames I didn’t know where the blues came from. I just knew I didn’t want to live without it.
