The Delta Blues, Exploring Clarksdale, Mississippi Music

This video is about the delta blues and the music that came out of Clarksdale Mississippi. I drove into the city on a weekend without much preparation or planning, but I quickly got oriented to the music happening with a visit to Cat Head Delta Blues and Folk Art. They had some great looking art featuring many Mississippi blues artists. They had a printout listing all the music that was going on on the weekend which was really helpful. I went to Bad Apple Blues Club, where Sean "Bad" Apple was playing. He was very kind in asking me to go up and play a few songs. Later in the day I went to one of the oldest original Mississippi juke joints, called Red's Lounge where I saw Frank "Guitar" Rimmer playing. I didn't get a chance to see the more touristy Ground Zero Blues Club on this trip, so that's going to have to wait for another day. On my way out I got some breakfast and music at Bluesberry Cafe and caught the famous crossroads location where Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil. Great trip.
