This acclaimed travel guide, hailed as the bible of blues travelers
throughout the world, will shepherd the faithful to such shrines as
the intersection where Robert Johnson might have made his deal with
the devil and the railroad tracks that inspired Howlin' Wolf to
moan ""Smokestack Lightnin'."" Blues Traveling was the first and is
the indisputably essential guidebook to Mississippi's musical
places and its blues history. For this new fourth edition, Steve
Cheseborough returned once again to the Delta, revisited all of the
locales featured in previous editions of the book, and uncovered
fresh destinations. He includes updated material on new festivals,
state blues markers, club openings and closings, and many other
transformations in the Delta's ever-lively blues scene. The fourth
edition also features new information on the Mississippi Blues
Trail, updated information on the many blues sites throughout the
Delta, and twenty new photographs. With photographs, maps,
easy-to-follow directions, and an informative, entertaining text,
this book will lead the reader in and out of Clarksdale, Greenwood,
Helena (Arkansas), Rolling Fork, Jackson, Memphis, Natchez,
Bentonia, Rosedale, Itta Bena, and dozens of other locales where
generations of blues musicians have lived, traveled, and performed.
