The Jackson Blues Scene
By Scott Barretta
Jackson, Mississippi, has long been under-recognized as a blues music hub. Though lost in the shadow of the Delta, Jackson is, and always has been, a rich, vibrant blues scene. We spotlight three Jackson legends and two emerging bluesmen from the City with Soul.
