Adventures of a Dutchman in the Mississippi Delta. Cheesehead Blues Re-Cut is a music documentary on the state of the blues set in Clarksdale, Mississippi, birthplace of the delta blues and second home of Theo Dasbach, founder of the amazing Rock & Blues Museum. In 2011 filmmaker Jan Doense set out on a musical road trip in the Deep South of the U.S.A. While visiting Clarksdale – home of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Ike Turner among others – he met fellow Dutchman Theo “Boogieman” Dasbach, a former international banker who had been sacked by his employer and then decided to move his enormous collection of blues and rock & roll memorabilia from Arum, Friesland to Clarksdale, Mississippi. This became the Rock & Blues Museum, one of the must-see attractions for any music lover visiting Clarksdale.

Muziekdocumentaire over de avonturen van Nederlander Theo 'Boogieman' Dasbach in de Mississippi Delta. Wellicht de bakermat van de bluesmuziek. Theo Dasbach is een Nederlandse ex-bankier die in Mississippi een Rock & Blues-museum is begonnen. Ook wordt Frank ‘Rat’ Ratliff, de eigenaar van het legendarische Riverside Hotel waar vroeger veel blueslegendes logeerden, geïnterviewd. En komen beroemde muzikanten als T-Model Ford, James ‘Super Chikan’ Johnson en Watermelon Slim aan het woord.
