Jimi Hendrix and Robbie Robertson are just two of the legends featured in this film that sheds welcome light onto the role played by Native Americans in the history of popular music.
Presented as a series of vignettes, with terrific archival footage and interviews from luminaries such as Iggy Pop, Buddy Guy and Martin Scorsese, Rumble covers nearly one hundred years of music encompassing Delta Blues and jazz to contemporary hip hop by way of rock’n’roll, taking ‘Link’ Wray Jr.’s seminal guitar instrumental ‘Rumble’ as a point of departure.
