Entertainment Reviews:
...The documentary team shrewdly keeps a low profile, letting us enjoy Armstrong's rambles through Chicago's South Side and his trip back home to Tennessee...
Los Angeles Times
Seeing it again under much better conditions, I understand... how much this film is of a piece with Crumb.

A most curious man. And a magnificent performer. The one, the only Louie Bluie.

...Winning on the strength of its homespun charm....Colorful, lively and garrulous...
New York Times
Armstrong emerges as an extraordinary man navigating a mundane world....He worked steadily in an era that crossed musical genres freely, then wound up largely forgotten once that era passed. -- Grade: A-

Rating: 3.5/4 --

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Louie Bluie peers into the areas where nothing is certain, except that these people live and strive and laugh and make music. It is a wonderful film.
