We didn't know what we were going to get. My father-in-law and I went to the Juke Joint Festival this past April with two things in mind: Enjoy the music, and film whatever and whoever we could. We wanted to soak up the festival and see if we could make something out of the footage afterward.
That weekend we interviewed whomever agreed to it, and we were surprised at some of the results. Most everyone was excited to talk to us, share their music, their art, their lives. And what we discovered in Clarksdale itself was a story larger than we could ever capture or tell in one weekend.
We're planning on going back next year.
And, of course, many, many thanks to all the artists who allowed us to talk with them and film them perform.

I hope this annual gathering of blues players keeps coming to Clarksdale.

[@MontyDeane]

My wife and I were just there in Clarksdale. Did the blues trail. You can hear the blues pouring out of these people. We stayed at the shackup inn for a week. What a great experience. Just the best trip of my life.

[@johnallen2771]

What do you figure that whole trip to Clarksdale cost for you and your wife for a week? Just curious, I'm thinking about going there in the future.

[@ClaimOfRightMuso]

@@johnallen2771 That's a good question, John - did he ever reply? Did you ever get there yourself?
I just saw (Dec '22) that you can book rooms at the Shack Up from $80 - $250 per night. I'm thinking about a visit in March '23 or '24.

Most of these comments are 3yr plus ago what’s it like today I’ve heard a lot if bad things crime wise.. The wife and I was planning on a trip there however

[@gabecarter]

No, I'm playing Mississippi Gabe Carter :)

[@vittoriodamioli5030]

What's the name of the song you are playing? Love the sound and use of voice!

[@zachsmith3376]

4:40 sounds like the black keys. The blues uncut

[@mlwsf]

That's what I thought too but at the same time it was their EP of Junior Kimbrough songs that got my attention.

[@busessuck1]

Interesting - is the white guy playing Junior Kimbrough song at the start?

[@sayerma]

No brother. It's a jam tune he chose to play, I've never heard it on one of Gabe's albums. This song is probably the perfect sound from him I believe.

[@BIRMZE]

Superb video! Check out my choices of places to visit in Clarksdale! Love the place!

[@X9Bull]

Anyone know if we can get this on dvd thanks

[@alicelouisewadsworth]

17:38 - Can someone find this man? I'll be in Clarksdale soon and I need to meet him! and, though this is old, so may have already happened, but I can help his project get seen?
Would love anyone to let me know Michael's whereabouts

[@srmngil]

Michael Mabry is his name, from about 7:30 in the video

[@srmngil]

found this on google: artdaily.com/news/71967/Micheal-Mabry-s-Delta-art-on-display-at-the-Ohr-O-Keefe-Museum

[@twangmeister]

I think it's Gabe Carter.

[@laisrizaporta9589]
