David Evans and the Sound of the Mississippi Hill Country (Part One)

David Evans, an ethnomusicologist, musician and foremost expert on Hill Country blues, began documenting the region’s musicians in 1969, recording artists and community music traditions through the 1970s and into the early ’80s. A professor emeritus at the University of Memphis, Evans produced records by R.L.

He is the author of Big Road Blues: Tradition and Creativity in the Folk Blues (1982), a foundational study of the genre, and was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2023.

This Mississippi Bookstore Started In An Apartment And Became A Literary Landmark

A bookstore that began in an apartment now draws readers from hundreds of miles away. I love that story. It proves a big idea can start in a very small space. This Mississippi shop sits upstairs in a building with a restaurant below. Shelves climb toward the ceiling, and small reading corners are tucked all around.
