From a 1900's-era commissary on the edge of a sprawling cotton field, about a half-hour north of where Delta bluesman Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil, Hank Burdine tells Ramsey Russell about the origins of the Mississippi Delta blues. The precursor to rock-n-roll, this music genre was also true inspiration of the recognized king himself, Elvis Presley. It's more the fascinating story of people, culture, time and place than of distinct, metal-stringed notes emanating from sweaty juke joints. And from personal experiences and past friendships, nobody but nobody tells it better than Mississippi Delta raconteur Hank Burdine. Please subscribe, rate and review Duck Season Somewhere podcast.
