First things first. Music. You probably cannot hear it while you are driving your Ghost, but it is a good introduction to Mississippi. Heck, you might even like it. Perhaps play it in your hotel room. Or annoy your mother.
We will be traveling in the Delta during our first week on tour. We have been advised that one must go to hear the blues performed, live, at least twice to get it. Since we will not be listening to the blues live for two nights, you are hereby assigned to keep these Spotify playlists running as your background music until you get to Mississippi:
This snippet is in the Spotify “Preview” mode. That means it will only play a few seconds of each song before going on to the next. I implore you to get Spotify. If you don’t you will be missing out on future music suggestions that you may like better, or not. Just click on the handy box that says “Get Spotify”. Isn’t that convenient?
Here are some other playlists that are not so rigidly “classic”. May be easier on the ears to newbies. The first one is more tame than the second one.
And have a little listen to Elvis as you now have Spotify. You don’t? Geez, spring for the $12 a month. You will be ostracized if you do not know your music.
This is Elvis singing the blues. Two birds with one stone.
