The notable blues musicians Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee performed in the film's soundtrack, composed by jazz great Benny Carter.
In 1938, Blind Boy Fuller's friend and bandmate, washboard player George Washington (aka Bull City Red), introduced Brownie McGhee to Long.
He has been described as "Tom Waits meets Brownie McGhee" and his stage presence has led him to be a two time winner of the Canberra Roots Music 'Young Performer of the Year' award and one of the five finalists in the 2006 National Youth Week 'RockIt' music competition.
