The Birthplace of the Blues

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 - Blues Road Trip, Week 1: M-I-S-S-I ...

Throughout the month of April, we'll be traveling to different regions that have traditionally been hotbeds of the blues, exploring fundamental differences in the sounds and styles in each place. For our first installment, it was only fitting that we devote an entire episode to the birthplace of the blues: none other than the great state of Mississippi. Tonight was a solid mix of powerful but refined acoustic playing from the Delta and raw, animal energy from the North Mississippi Hill Country juke players. What a fun way to get things started.
