EP 289. Red Hots and Blues Where Cultures Collided Duck Season Somewhere

Back in the day, describes Billy Johnson, Leland, Mississippi swelled to 4x its present population on Saturday nights. Live music and food carts on every corner down by the tracks. That was way back when a national magazine described this little Mississippi delta hamlet as "The Hell Hole of America." Things like blind tiger booze, chitlin circuit clubs, skin balls, cathouses and card games abounded. But real history was being made, too. Even a teenage delivery boy from Memphis later made a big name for himself. "It was the most amazing thing, so much talent coming from such a small area," B.B. King later said. Funny where a conversation about hot tamales will go!
