Summary:
"This acclaimed travel guide, hailed as the bible of blues travelers throughout the world, will shepherd the faithful to such shrines as the intersection where Robert Johnson might have made his deal with the devil and the railroad tracks that inspired Howlin' Wolf to moan 'Smokestack Lightnin.' Blues Traveling was the first and is the indisputably essential guidebook to Mississippi's musical places and its blues history."--Provided by publisher.
