On the Streets of Bolton (MS)
This blog post was written by Mississippi Department of Transportation engineer Graham Clarke. His vast amount of field experience makes him the archetypical professional who first began to search for the Blues listening to the music and later ended up tracking down the burial grounds of Blues artists across the state. This post details his experiences in Bolton, Mississippi–a place that at the turn of the twentieth century featured the Chatmon, Patton, Sloan (Salome), and McCoy families, all of which later boasted commercial recording artists in the 1920s & 30s.
