The Poor and Hungry was Craig Brewer's first released feature film. It is not merely a great directorial debut, it is simply a great film on any standard. Rarely has any filmmaker been more able to capture Memphis in its mythic entirety. This is the soundtrack from the hit independent film by Craig Brewer/BR2 Productions.
The soundtrack contains great blues by many well known artists and haunting violin scores by Jonathan Kirkscey that set the mood of the movie.
