Since I was a kid, I've had an absolute obsession with particular kinds of American music. Mississippi Delta blues of the Thirties, Chicago blues of the Fifties, West Coast music of the mid-Sixties - but I'd never really touched on dark Americana.

WHAT DOES MISSISSIPPI DELTA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mississippi Delta

Mississippi Delta

The Mississippi Delta is the distinctive northwest section of the U.S. state of Mississippi that lies between the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers. The region has been called "The Most Southern Place on Earth" because of its unique racial, cultural, and economic history. It was one of the richest cotton-growing areas in the nation. Before the American Civil War, the region attracted many speculators who developed land for cotton plantations; they became wealthy planters dependent for labor on black slaves, who comprised the majority of population in these counties well before the Civil War. African Americans developed the musical forms of blues and jazz. The majority of residents in several counties in the region are still black, although more than 400,000 blacks left the state in the 20th century Great Migration to northern, midwestern, and western industrial cities. As the agricultural economy does not support many jobs or businesses, the region has worked to diversify. At times the region has suffered heavy flooding from the Mississippi River, notably in 1927 and 2011.
