CRYSTAL SPRINGS, MS-- Blues Jam 2008 is a Celebration and Tribute to a man whose legacy continues to thrive 70 years after his death. Robert Johnson, who is donned as the "Grandfather of Rock and Roll" has made his mark in history with his original songs and guitar style. He has influenced a broad range of musicians from Johnny Winters, Bonnie Raitt and Eric Clapton
and has now grasped the praise and admiration of a whole "New Generation" of up and coming musicians in this Digital Age. Even after death Johnson has received a Grammy, been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So in the infamous words of a few of his songs: "Come on in My Kitchen" as we brew you up a huge serving of "Cross Road Blues" and kick back and let the music chase away "The Hellhound on My (your) Trail". Don't miss it! |
