The Pentecostal Church is really up in there because that thump, the drums, you know. I am reminded of an earlier conversation with local blueswoman Rosalind Wilcox : “Hill country is, like, you on the front porch, the sun is going down, ’til midnight or later hear that thump. I am walking to the Delta Amusement Cafe, a small blues club in the heart of the Alley, where, according to the festival schedule, I am sure to hear some of the region’s best hill country blues. For the next four days Blues Alley along the downtown square in Clarksdale, Mississippi, will come alive with blues concerts, sidewalk shows, street vendors, and any number of blues jamming sessions. You hear it before you see it, especially on nights like this, which is the first of the Juke Joint Festival.
