Must Be Jelly: Live at Wrox in Clarksdale Mississippi

(Audio CD)
The Jelly Roll All-Stars deliver an uncommon prize, a live-recorded, raw and raggedy debut album by a working blues band. Rather than create a fussed-over product in a polished recording session, this band of distinguished journeymen jammed into the studio of WROX in Clarksdale, Mississippi, to keep the letter and spirit of Chicago and modern Delta blues intact. The three gents with ties to Muddy Waters--longtime rhythm section Willie "Big Eyes" Smith and Calvin "Fuzz" Jones and harmonica player Arthur Williams--join drummer Sam Carr (of the great Delta band Jelly Roll Kings) and young helpmates Jesse Hoggard (guitar) and Bob Lohr (piano) for a series of heartfelt performances, with Williams's Hohner squalls being especially noteworthy.

Titles:
    1. Jelly Roll All-Stars Intro
    2. Baby Don't Say That No More
    3. Reed Rap
    4. I'm Gonna Get My Baby
    5. Sun Is Shining

Crossroads at Clarksdale: The Black Freedom Struggle in the Mississippi Delta after World War II

(Hardcover)
by: Hamlin Francoise Nicole
Weaving national narratives from stories of the daily lives and familiar places of local residents, Francoise Hamlin chronicles the slow struggle for black freedom through the history of Clarksdale, Mississippi. Hamlin paints a full picture of the town over fifty years, recognizing the accomplishments of its diverse African American community and strong NAACP branch, and examining the extreme brutality of entrenched power there. The Clarksdale story defies triumphant narratives of dramatic change, and presents instead a layered, contentious, untidy, and often disappointingly unresolved civil rights movement.
