Greetings from Clarksdale, Mississippi, heart of the Mississippi Delta! Juke Joint Fest 2018 is upon us and Clarksdale is hoppin’ like a jumpin’ bullfrog in Calaveras County.

Magical Madge and I have hastily thrown together a get-acquainted-with-Clarksdale video I took with an iPhone while riding around Clarksdale last year on the Friday before Juke Joint Fest 2017.

The video is accompanied by three of Chilly Billy's favorite songs recorded in Clarksdale and performed by three of our good friends, all gifted musicians. The first song, “Come in My Kitchen,” was written by Robert Johnson and performed by Sean "Bad" Apple at Bluesberry Café. The second is a fine rendition of Junior Kimbrough’s “Meet Me in The City” performed by Lightnin’ Malcolm at Hopson Commissary, and the third was also recorded at Hopson Commissary and performed by Clarksdale native Marshall Drew and is a mighty fine rendering of the Allman Brothers “Melissa!”
