Morgan Freeman is expanding his celebrated career beyond film and television with a deeply personal project rooted in the music of his Mississippi childhood.
The 89-year-old actor narrated and produced “Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience,” a 12-track album tracing approximately 100 years of blues history.
Freeman has maintained a lifelong connection to blues music and is a co-owner of the Ground Zero Blues Club in Mississippi.
For Freeman, blues music was not something he consciously discovered or decided to study.
