I recently wrote a story about two-time Grammy award winning Mississippi bluesman and octogenarian Bobby Rush for Delta Magazine. Bobby gives a very honest, intimate, and heartfelt look at his life as a blues musician and Black man in the American South. Pick one up today at NOVEL in Memphis, Tennessee.
Bobby recently released his memoir which I found to be a great read! I Ain’t Studdin’Ya.
