Clarksdale, Mississippi - Birthplace of the Blues

On our recent short vacation to meet friends in Bourbon Country Kentucky, we stopped and spent a couple days in Clarksdale, MS - Birthplace of the Blues.

Also located in Clarksdale - 'The Crossroads' - where Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil.

We had a super-funky AirBnB for this stay, highly recommend the "Squeezbox".

Everyone we met was super friendly and open, and it was very enjoyable visiting the Delta Blues Museum.

Live Blues can be found every night of the week.

We'd like to come back again and spend even more time in this area!

If you love music, especially the blues, history, cool street art - visit Clarksdale!
