Blues in the Delta town where Highway 61 meets Highway 49..
The Illinois Central ran straight from this country to Chicago, and the Chicago Defender was smuggled south in Pullman porters' bags with job listings and train times printed in it.
Free blues and gospel performances fill small stages across downtown Clarksdale each August, a short walk from the Delta Blues Museum.
The Delta town where Highways 61 and 49 cross, and where Robert Johnson was said to have sold his soul for his guitar playing, a story he encouraged and that borrowed from older African tales.
