专辑简介

So many roads were traveled to make this record a reality. Jim's long time friend and legendary guitarist Bernie Marsden recruited him to assist on a documentary highlighting Clarksdale, Mississippi's importance in the history of the blues. Jim and Bernie traveled to Clarksdale on several occasions meeting with local musicians, touring the locations where it all happened, and meeting with local blues supporters like Morgan Freeman to make the documentary. Digging in deep with musical traditions inspired Jim to pursue his own recordings further, keeping the blues alive in the Clarksdale tradition. In addition to recruiting Bernie to play on the record, a long list of guest musicians such as legendary bassist Joe Osborn, grammy winner Charlie Musselwhite, and many more contributed. This record serves as a tribute to the blues, as well as Clarksdale's musical contributions present and past.
