I was right there along side you with RL but when you swung west on Hwy 6 and headed to the delta you lost me. I like Delta Blues but I love me some Hill Country Blues. Proud to say I made it to Junior Kimbrough's Juke Joint before it burned but sadly not before Junior passed away. Saw RL numerous times. Most of these guys are gone but you can still catch their kids performing. Otha Turner's Rising Star Fife and Drum band lives on. Cedric Burnside Project, Duane Burnside Band, Kenny Brown Band, David Kimbrough Band. You need to make a road trip! -J
