The Juke Joints - Tin House (1994)

”With the growth of the blues came the spread of the phenomenan known as the juke joint, a house or cafe where people gathered for music and dancing. In the juke joints younger blues singers learned from older ones, borrowed techniques here, a song there, and created new styles. Juke joints became the showcases for travelling bluesman who would later expand their reputations through recordings.”

The Tin House is a real juke joint just a few miles outside Greenville Mississippi, where they have live blues on most sunday afternoons.
