Tupelo by John Lee Hooker

John Lee sure had a way of delivering a song that gets straight to the soul.

GOd I miss him.

35 and first time in life listening to theese songz of j l hooker ..god he is killing me

my grandfather told stories of this flood how the river came up to the top of levees on both sides of the river and before the levees broke they had people with guns patroling both sides of the river because the people on each side was scared that someone from the other side would come over and break the levees to releive the pressure so it wouldn't flood on thier side. Pretty wild. Story from st. james parish, louisiana in 1927.

Greets from the French Riviera... You know what? During my trip in the United States last year I went to Tupelo... Why? Because I heard this song, and I wanted to learn more about Tupelo...

cool shit

what year is this?

simple but brilliant

Tupelo+memphis= Elvis

The Mississippi Delta is the distinct northwest section of the state of Mississippi that lies between the Mississippi and Yazoo Rivers. Technically not a delta but part of an alluvial plain, it has been said that the Delta "begins in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel (in Memphis) and ends on Catfish Row in Vicksburg"

"About a 1927 flood of the Mississippi Delta that ruined many towns"

Tupelo is in Northeast Mississippi--a LONG, LONG way from the delta.
