I saw the book Music Makers on my last stop at Barnes & Noble. It looked rather appealling, covering some of the unheralded, unknown blues legends presently toiling in places where the blues really exist. I turned the pages, hoping to find more than a few Mississippi representatives, but the book was far more representative of the southeast, so I passed on it. There were a few sections on musicians from Clarksdale (I grew up to the south of there in Indianola & Sunflower) and thereabouts, but not enough to warrant a purchase on my part.

After stumbling onto this article, I noticed that a NC radio station will be replaying a benefit concert on Christmas day (noon-3:30 EST) with some of the artists listed, though. Looks pretty cool, so if I can squeeze some time between slasher flicks, Muppet flicks, and Billy Jack, it could be worthwhile.

Addendum: Hmm, that radio station is also airing a Best of Frank Zappa on Friday at noon.
