You can’t escape the blues when you are in Clarksdale. Widely believed to be the birthplace of the blues, Clarksdale has more live music concerts taking place at any given point in time than you can take in.
Clarksdale is a place where music lovers come to lose themselves in the soulful notes and haunting lyrics that hang heavy in the air around the Blues Alley and pay homage at the blues shrine, the Delta Blues Museum. During your holidays to Mississippi, you won’t find a place that exudes more quirkiness and character than Clarksdale. You might very well find yourself spending your holiday in a hotel room that was once a cotton gin bin or in a restored shack that belonged to a Delta sharecropper.
