Follow the Music in Mississippi
The small city of Columbus, Mississippi, in the Deep South, has a music scene as colorful as its houses. Its heritage lies in one particular hue, however: blue. The area has produced notable blues musicians, such as Howlin’ Wolf, Bukka White and Big Joe Williams. Discover the influential people and the historic sites that contributed to this musical legacy by visiting the four Mississippi Blues Trail markers. Among them is Catfish Alley, the legendary epicenter of blues, jazz and soul music in North Mississippi, where revered artists, including B.B. King and James Brown performed. There’s plenty more to experience in this understated city, too, including the childhood home of playwright Tennessee Williams; the locally owned shops; a burgeoning food scene; fishing tournaments and watersports; plus a host of charming hotels and B&Bs.
