Blues legends Louisiana Red and Eddie Kirkland can both afford to choose who they pass their musical heritage on to, and they both chose the same guy - Niko Riippa. The documentary movie Mississippi - Nedervetil tells the story about how Louisiana Red, once an apprentice of Muddy Waters, has found his own ideal apprentice in Niko Riippa. As a member of Europe's leading blues band, the Wentus Blues Band, Riippa has done more than 2000 gigs in 13 countries and 5 records. He has toured with Dick Heckstall-Smith and Mick Taylor, and has recorded with the likes of Kim Wilson, Carey Bell, Louisiana Red, Eddie Kirkland, Omar Dykes and Dick Heckstall-Smith. On his first solo album, Bohemian Breakfast Bar, Niko Riippa proves he knows what to do with his heritage. There's more where this came from! Blues/Rock, total running time, 37:05
