David Evans on the Roots and Evolution of Mississippi Hill Country Blues (Part One)

David Evans and the Sound of the Mississippi Hill Country. 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. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough and Jessie Mae Hemphill through the university’s High Water label, helping bring their music to audiences beyond northern Mississippi. 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.

MDWFP says drought-hit deer food plots may still be worth replanting

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks says most of Mississippi received less than an inch of rain during September and October, leaving many deer food plots struggling. The agency said food plots planted in early to mid-September may have germinated in heat and drought and then failed, while plots planted in late September or October that did not get enough rain to germinate should still have viable seeds once a soaking rain arrives.

Coldest temperatures of the season possible next week

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) -Patchy frost is possible Sunday morning as winds calm down and skies clear. Low-lying areas in the shade are the most likely places to see this. Temperatures are expected to fall into the mid to upper 30s for much of the area; however, there’s some uncertainty because clouds could linger and keep temperatures from dropping as much as expected. Either way, it’s a good time to bring sensitive plants indoors or cover them, and make sure pets and people have protection from the cold.
