synopsis
The River is a kaleidoscopic journey exploring the lives, lore, and locales along three great rivers of the American South via musical performances, storytelling, and cultural history from the band Coyote Motel. Starting at Nashville's Cumberland and weaving south along the Mississippi and Tallahatchie, The River introduces viewers to muleskinners, coal miners riverboat gamblers, freedom fighters, and the late musical giants of North Mississippi blues. It also essays the omnipotent, timeless magic of the rivers themselves, and the cities and rural outposts along their endless waters.
