Joseph doesn't have it easy growing up in a small Mississippi town. His mother spreads her time equally between performing on stage at June's Juke Joint, on her back with a man on top of her, and drinking cheap whiskey, all with little Joseph as a witness. Forced to raise himself, he finds food in the kitchens of women with their own agendas; his innocence sacrificed for a home cooked meal.
Given a guitar by an angel kicked out of Heaven for chasing women and spiking his milk and honey, Joseph becomes Uncle Joe as he follows his mothers footsteps singing the blues on stage, pleasing women and drinking whiskey. By the age of 19, Mississippi becomes too small and Uncle Joe catches a train for Chicago, where he picks up where he left off in Mississippi. After years of hard living, he ends up in Detroit; following but never finding a lost love.
Langston walks into the Stingy Brim Jazz Cafe hoping to share his poetry during open mic night, but shares much more when he and Uncle Joe, the blues singer in residence, have a meeting of the souls. The elder bluesman is forced to retread painful footsteps left in the streets of Chicago as he and Langston chart new territory in Detroit. Langston lives with Evelyn, an older woman who provides everything he needs as long as she gets what she wants; a young stud to feed her strong sexual appetite. Langston more than satisfies until he expresses a desire to get married.
Evelyn avoids meeting the blues singer as long as she can. Her personal views about musicians coupled with the fact that she is envious of their relationship cause her to make excuses every time Langston tries to get her to come to the club to meet him. Langston and Uncle Joe form a relationship that is greater that of a mentor or father figure, they embark on a journey that changes both of their lives. Along the way, Langston learns that it doesn't take many steps in another man's shoes to find out why he sings the blues. It only takes a short distance along the trail he has tread; that is enough, a little dab a do ya.
