As a Mississippian, this is very much appreciated. Thank you.

To my mind Mississippi delta blues is generally acoustic and before 1940 and after that you get Chicago blues, which is what this music is. Chicago Blues is generally electrified delta blues with a full band

I heard Doc Watson sing this song once in concert. Doc Watson was born as a white man in the segregated south. However he never forgot folk music's roots in blues

ohh man , never actually been to missisipi but i feel like i was literally sittin there and hanging out with these guys and their dog ;)

The Mississippi River is one of Americ's greatest natural and cultural resources, a symbol of commerce and adventure that captures our imagination. The mighty Mississippi has also inspired timeless art, ranging from Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" to a wealth of blues songs such as the ones featured on this collection. While it begins in Minnesota, the Mississippi River is most frequently associated with the Deep South and the Mississippi Delta. in the early 20th century, as river towns sprang up amidst the rice and cotton fields, blues music was born. At juke joints, levee camps, and weekend house parties, African-American cast off their hardships and found joy listening to lone troubadours singing driving, rhythmic songs with riveting narratives that captured their hopes and fears. Early Delta musical pioneers like Robert Johnson and Charley Patton set the standard, playing slide guitar and singing unaccompanied country blues that didn't need a backing band. Patton and Johnson's ferocious intensity and simultaneous rhythm and lead guitar playing made them one-man bands that kept dance floors packed. Meanwhile, piano players like Pinetop Perkins were accomplishing the same feat, sitting down alone at the ivories and pounding out boogie-woogie and aching slow numbers that kept revelers and lovers alike in rapture. It's a place and era now shrouded in myth; Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil at the crossroads in exchange for his otherworldly skills remains one of the blue's persistent legends. But there's no denying the real proliferation of talented musicians who made their mark. A new breed of musucians made hones indigenous blues music that became part of the cultural fabric of the South - and laid the foundation for rock and roll. In the 1940s, large segments of southern African-Americans migrated north, drawn by the promise of fruitful employment and a new way of life in urban centers like Chicago. Mississippi Blues traces this musical journey. Along the way, you'll hear how innovators like Luther Allison and Ike and Tina Turner took the musical legacy of Robert Johnson and incorporated new regional and musical influences, making individual statements of their own. Geographically, the route extends from the electric sounds made in Chicago by Delta natives, to the sophisticated Memphis stylings of Tennessee's Bobby "Blue" Bland, to the river's final destination in Louisiana, where guitarist Chris Thomas King plays his own brand of acoustic blues. The pool of artists nurtured by the Mississippi River is as wide and vast as the river itself, an it would be impossible to fit all those artists on a single compact disc. But this cross-section of performers is a distillation of the region's talent, and we hope it leads you on a memorable musical voyage, and inspires a fresh look at the beauty and vitality of Mississippi blues.
