Following the trail he explored in search of the roots of the Blues back in 1971, film producer/director Ted Reed revisited those places today and found where the Blues is alive, now more than ever. His new film, “The Blues Trail Revisited,” is the foundation for this podcast, and in partnership with Clarksdale, MS tourism office “Visit Clarksdale,” uses Mississippi’s Delta region as the jumping off point for shows about the home of the Blues. Showcasing the music and the people who make the blues eternally alive, each episode brings Ted’s road of discovery to music and history fans everywhere.
One of the most popular music venues in Clarksdale is also a restaurant, and owners Carol and Arthur Crivaro started it years ago with the idea of opening a health food store--we learned about how that went, along with getting to know who comes there. Then it's this episode's edition of the Blues Trail Music Report. Music from Watermelon Slim, Mississippi Marshall, La la Craig and Kingfish Ingram.
