Great blog! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Much appreciated.
I love it! My brother who is a big blues fan will come to San Antonio, TX where I live from Japan. We definitely go some of those places. I can’t wait!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I became a big fan of the Blues while exploring the area. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers, Mike
I took a history of rock and roll class in college, and that’s how I originally learned of this highway. Very interesting class and I can’t wait to travel this one day!
Hey Nicole…thank you for sharing your story, it sort of reminds me of something similar. When I was in college I took a couple of art history classes. Years later I got to go to some of the museums that displayed many of the works that we studied in school. Hope you get to do the Blues Hwy one day soon. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers, Mike
Regarding blues musicians dining at the Blue and White in Tunica, having personally eaten there at least twice daily during the summer months from approximately 1954 through 1960, I can assure you that until well after the Civil Rights Movement began to see desegregation results, no Black person was allowed in the place unless they were working there or making deliveries, and then only though the back door. They were certainly not allowed in the dining area for any reason. A shameful result of segregation and Southern Culture of the time and embarrassing to me, even as a child.
Hi David. Wow, that is so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing that story. Thankfully we have come a long way, even if there is more to be done. All the best, Mike
I think you mean Robert Johnson. Jack Jackson is a white boy from Hawaii.
“Clarksdale is just forty minutes south of Tunica and has a famous landmark that is said to be the site where Jack Johnson sold his soul to the devil, it’s called “The Crossroads.”
Hey Cindy, thank you so much for catching that. Appreciate you stopping by. Cheers, Mike
I plan to do the Blues Trail in February of 2020 from Memphis to New Orleans. How many days should I allow? I plan to travel leisurely and see it all.
Hi Kevin…I would plan for at least a week. Let me know if I can answer any other specific questions. All the best, Mike
what is the best time of year to go?
Hi Merry, I would say March or April. You want to go before it gets too hot, but after winter. Hope you get to make it there soon. Cheers, Mike
This sounds like such a great road trip. My husband and I just love the Blues and it would be fun to learn about the history.
So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by.
Really want to do this road trip, sounds amazing. Huge Blues music fan.
This sounds like such a fun road trip. Love the Blues!
I am a hue Blues music fan and have been wanting to do this road trip. Thanks for the information.
Hi Mike,
I’m in the initial phases of planning this trip for next year.
Question: Did you veer off of any main roads on dirt roads to do any advanced exploring? One reason I want to go is to photograph old deserted houses / cabins, etc…
My goal is to fly into Memphis & out of NO.
Thank you for an excellent article, and for giving me very valuable info! 🙂
Hi Barry, thanks so much for stopping by. On this trip, I did not, I was with some other people and was restricted from doing so. That said, I do love to veer off the main roads and think you will find exactly what you’re looking for. Such a great idea to fly into Memphis and out of NOLA, it’s a fantastic drive. I did another trip a year later from NOLA to Vicksburg to Mobile area and then back to NOLA, it was a big loop road trip. Here are a couple of links if you’re interested: https://mikesroadtrip.com/vicksburg/ and https://mikesroadtrip.com/fairhope-al-road-trip/ Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope you have a wonderful time. Cheers, Mike
Thank you for this information and video on doing a Blues Trail road trip, just what I needed to inspiring me. Hoping to do this road trip in April.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a fantastic time.
