Product Information

Category: .

There is no better way for Blues fans to experience the Mississippi Delta than traveling by car down Hwy 61, known as The Blues Highway. As you travel throughout the Delta with its endless cotton fields, small towns and meandering rivers, you will see the land that many famous Bluesmen call home. To truly find the soul of the Blues one must take the back roads to old Plantation sites, such as Stovall Farms and Hopson Plantation in Clarksdale and Dockery Farms in Ruleville, where if you listen carefully, you can still hear the lamenting sounds of the slaves' field hollers and spirituals resounding with the deep African rhythms of their ancestors.

Introduction

“The Blues had a baby and they call it Rock & Roll.” This famous quote from Blues man, Muddy Waters, describes the connection between Memphis Music and the Blues. If Mississippi is the birthplace of the Blues, then Memphis is the Home of the Blues. An historical marker at Hwy 61 and Beale St confirms Memphis’ importance on the Mississippi Blues Trail. Memphis is historically responsible for launching the Blues into the mainstream of American music and mixing it with country and gospel resulting in Rock & Roll, Soul, R&B and other musical genes of today’s modern music.

In order to maximize results, we strongly suggest a Wed or Thu starting day. This will allow for a Thu, Fri & Sat nights in Clarksdale and Greenwood. Blues entertainment is only available Thu, Fri & Sat nights in these small towns. Furthermore, near Greenwood is one of only two truly authentic “juke joints” in Mississippi, Po Monkey’s and it is only open on Thursday nights. Also nearby is Club Ebony, now owned by B. B. King, and it is only open Thu, Fri, Sat & Sun nights and with live blues mostly only on Fri & Sat. You can also request prices mixing 3* & 4* hotels. Example we suggest those wanting 4* hotels consider staying at Tallahatchie Flats and getting the real feeling of the Deep South rural lifestyle.

Southern Soul Experience

13 Days & 12 Nights The Deep South is like nowhere else in the USA. It is a land of cotton, molasses and tobacco; antebellum mansions and shotgun shacks; Civil War battlefields and Civil Rights conflicts; oak trees draped in Spanish moss and bayous brimming with crawfish; sun-drenched beaches, virgin forests and mountains of Appalachia. Driving through the Deep South could not be a more hospitable experience. There is such a relaxed feel here. Locals are only too pleased to help out whether it is giving directions or serving some of those sumptuous Southern specialties. As you drive be sure to switch on the radio and listen to blues, jazz, country, rock'n'roll and soul that are synonymous with the Deep South.

Land of the Kings Vacation Holiday

Tennessee & Mississippi 10 Days & 9 Nights For millions around the world Memphis and Mississippi first and foremost mean music. The Blues were born in the Mississippi Delta combining traditional African rhythms with the soulful cries of the sharecroppers as they toiled in the scorched fields. If Mississippi was the birthplace of the Blues, Memphis became home to the music as aspiring musicians headed north on Highway 61 to perform their music on Beale Street. One of them traded his first name Riley for "The Beale Street Blues Boy" and today B.B. King still has a club on the lively street, which is now the premier entertainment district of the entire South.
