A contemporary blues album performed by Chineke! Orchestra, narrated by Morgan Freeman, and conducted by Martin Gellner (Composer, Conductor and Music Director, most recently serving as arranger for Hans Zimmer Live) who created all the new arrangements for this project.

Recorded between the world-class recording studios: Royal Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, and Abbey Road, this album weaves together powerful cinematic storytelling with live blues and orchestral performances, collaborating with Grammy® award winning producers, and blues performers. Producers include Lawrence "Boo" Mitchell, a Grammy® Award-winning engineer, producer, composer, award-winning movie producer, and owner of Royal Studios in Memphis, TN. He received the 2016 Record of the Year Grammy® for "Uptown Funk" and was instrumental in producing the ACADEMY award winning soundtrack, Sinners.

Performers on this album include Taj Mahal — a highly regarded guitarist/mult-instrumentalist, contributing significantly to the blues genre (his list of collaborations include names like Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Etta James and more), Keb' Mo' (Singer/guitarist and 5x Grammy® Awards including Best Contemporary Blues Album) and Shemekia Copeland (acclaimed American blues/soul vocalist and 8x Grammy® nominee).
