Woops, got that Robert Lockwood link wrong. Here's Robert Lockwood Jr

Here's Blue Flame's short bioBlue Flame Cafe: Robert Lockwood Jr.

Truckerdave is correct. The blues in Mississippi has moved on and RJ was never well known. He was a drifter and only "Terraplane" sold very well. He wasn't famous until the folkie revival and the release of the first RJ album. If you do go there's way more than RJ. Go leave an old mouth harp on Sonny Boy's gravestone. Hear the blues as they are today in the jukes. And there's the Hill Country too.
