By admin - Posted on 30 December 2008

NEWS FLASH !! FILM RELEASE DATE OCTOBER 29, 2010 also available 'On Demand'

Based on the unforgettable story “Jolene: A Life” by one of America’s most celebrated writers, E.L. Doctorow (Ragtime, Billy Bathgate), Jolene is the provocative tale of a young girl who, after surviving a series of abusive foster homes, marries a less-than-adequate young man for a short time to escape her situation. The film follows her on a ten-year journey across America – from rural South Carolina to Phoenix to Las Vegas, then to Tulsa and finally Hollywood in her pursuit of love and independence.

"'Jasper, Texas' is more of a salute to the soulful bluesy, sounds of Memphis than the racism that caused a black man to be dragged to death in that town. But then that's the point: Where would America be without its black music roots? I credit the band for having the guts to send this disc to Jasper's KJAS, which immediately banned it. Tough, nearly impossible for acts to break new ground with this brand of original music, they succeed from a purist sense, while packing their tunes with a fresh sense of enthusiasm. ''Jolene, Jolene,'' a Dr. John-like ode to a stripper, is among the best modern blues I've heard recently. I also like the Springsteen-inspired ''She's Got Soul.''
