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.
Juneteenth is coming this Saturday, and we're checking out a couple of new Clarksdale, MS music venues--the Delta Blues Alley Cafe and the Bad Apple Blues Club--and ask the owners what it takes to bring even more music to Bluestown. Featuring music by Earnest Guitar Roy, Frank Rimmer, Lucious Spiller, Sean Bad Apple and Anthony "Big A" Sherrod.
