Aprašymas

Jobyna's Blues is a multi-generational love story, set in post-WWI American South, and flashing forward to the mid-1960's in New York City and London. In 1924, Jobyna, the Empress of the Blues, and Lily, a dancer in her chorus line, fall in love as they travel in a custom train car and play to adoring crowds in theaters from Nashville to New Orleans to Mobile. Life is both exciting and dangerous in the young country, only sixty years past the Civil War.Looking forward to the mid-1960's, Jobie Greene, a folk singer in Greenwich Village, meets the charismatic English pop star, Deedee. They struggle to manage their long-distance relationship and their careers against a backdrop of social change. The connections between the love stories and the women's challenges and triumphs, as they echo through time, keep us surprised and challenged and rooting for their happy endings.
