Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.

Casandra Wilson from "Jackson Mississippi" is one of my favorites, and from what I heard, she still lives there.

Son House, if that ain't the blues I would like to know what is; as one girl I knew would say "Just throw me out in the alley and let me roll with the rest of the tin cans"; that's when she was enjoying the low-down Blues.

Baby-Face Willette might be from New Orleans; I know his music hits some New Orleans licks.

B-3 and Hank Crawford:

I always loved Hank Crawford.  Sharp dresser.

To me, "Death Letter Blues" will always be one of the most heart-wrenching recordings from the Delta.  It ain't load-the-dishwasher music - it's riveting and spine-tingling.

Son House---

The most poignant:

First, "I got a letter this morning",  no phone call,  then, "grabbed up my suitcase and took off down the road",   no car, no bus,  took off walking.

Those were the times they lived in.   The music is so authentic.
I feel sadness and pride.

Cheers
