Clarksdale, Mississippi

Along our journey to Lake Village, Arkansas, where we were going to get some southern tamales, we stopped in the town of Clarksdale, Mississippi.  Jim was hesitant to go because he would have to park at the Walmart, then unhook the truck so we could tour the Delta Blues Museum.

He relented and he was glad he did.  Clarksdale is the home to many blues artist such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Doc Watson, and many more.  The area around this town in the middle of nowhere was home to the beginning of the blues. Each year they a Sunflower Festival that showcases many famous blues artist.
