USA - Southern States - Road Trip in the American South

Razor Blade (real name Josh Stuart) as he calls himself has been playing blues since the sixties with his band the Deep Cuts “they kinda know me around these parts.” It helps to work 15 hours in the cotton fields to really sing the blues he explains. Something these white wannabe blues singers don’t really understand. With the cotton pickers migration north after the introduction of mechanization it is no surprise that something of the blues soul has left with them. The blues museum (0pposite in Blues Alley) is now as important an institution as any of the remaining blues joints.
