THE BLUES TRAIL REVISITED PODCAST

By: Ted Reed
  • Summary

  • Following the trail he explored in search of the roots of the Blues back in 1971, film producer/director Ted Reed revisited those places today and found where the Blues is alive, now more than ever. His new film, "The Blues Trail Revisited," is the foundation for this podcast, and in partnership with Clarksdale, MS tourism office "Visit Clarksdale," uses Mississippi's Delta region as the jumping off point for shows about the home of the Blues. Showcasing the music and the people who make the blues eternally alive, each episode brings Ted's road of discovery to music and history fans everywhere.

    Nominated for a Blues Music Award for Best Emerging Artist Album, blues band GA-20 have tapped into the raw, gutsy sound of the original electric blues greats. They have perfected the stripped down sound of a trio with a message. Their origins are in the Boston area, but their roots are in the Delta. Initially hitting the road opening for Kingfish Ingram, they’ve established their own loyal fan base and are taking their brand of blues to Europe during their recent tour.
