Last week, I stumbled across Dr. Isaiah Ross' First Recordings on the Arhoolie label. A wise person once told me never to pass up an Arhoolie record, even if you don't know the artist, their entire catalog is top notch. That advice has never let me down. #bluessky #bluesmusic #blueshistory #blues

The intersection of highways 10 and 61 was a profitable spot on Saturdays for buskers when people from the country came to town. Passengers on the “Planter,” a train that ran daily from New Orleans to Memphis, also stopped here to eat dinner and be entertained by Delta musicians. #bluessky #blues
