Delta Blues: The Life and Times of the Mississippi Masters Who Revolutionized American Music | Ted Gioia
post image

Spent my birthday in Clarksdale, MS checking off a goal on my bucket list to see the legendary Crossroads at Hwy 49/61. We toured the Delta Blues Museum and stayed at The Shack Up Inn, a collection of old sharecropper cabins in the middle of cotton, soy, and sunflower fields.

Delta Blues: The Life and Times of the Mississippi Masters Who Revolutionized American Music | Ted Gioia

#TBRtemptation post 4! Gioia, famed Jazz researcher, looks at the Mississippi Delta and its music which influenced an entire nation. Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, and others, are profiled. From the plantation fields to the jazz halls, the genre's development is laid out in great, enthralling detail. No other cultural force bears such humble beginnings & eventual influence. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

tournevis I know what I'm buying my father for Xmas... 7y
CocoReads We were fortunate enough to see B.B. King before he died. His health wasn't the greatest by the time we saw him so there were more stories than playing but it was still a great night. A few years ago we saw Buddy Guy and he is amazing. If anyone ever has the opportunity to see him, I'd highly recommend it! 7y
BookBabe Yessss! Love me some blues! 💙 7y

I've been absent on an inpromtu, whirlwind Delta blues tour up to the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, AR over the weekend and will be playing catch up from the last 3 days with photo challenge entries later today. I had the best weekend of my life. I want to go back RIGHT NOW. #DeltaBlues

CherylDeFranceschi Sounds awesome! 8y
Hornsby78 @CherylDeFranceschi It was beyond words. I feel like I left a piece of myself up there and I need to go back and find it. 8y
Louise Sounds amazing! I think I wouldn't be able to tear myself away from my instruments after a weekend like that! 😎🎼 8y

BookishFeminist That sounds like so much fun!! 8y
Hornsby78 Y'all, it was astounding. Literally every place we turned, somebody was playing SOME kind of blues live, from Helena to Clarksdale. I have been sitting here today wondering how I could make money if I moved up there. @Louise @Suzze @BookishFeminist 8y
CherylDeFranceschi I love going somewhere that knows your soul! It's indescribable and truly rare. I'm so glad you had that experience! Plus- music!!!! 8y
kspenmoll Sounds wonderful! 8y
