"Shakerag"

The 1920s African-American music that flowed from Shakerag in Tupelo, Mississippi was pre-rock and roll, filled with blues, jazz, railroad songs, and sanctified music. Shakerag is now part of the Elvis tour route in Tupelo. Shakerag is the area which many books and films on Elvis acknowledged he visited and heard the music that made an impression on him before he left Mississippi. Blue Suede Shoes in the Hood CD gives you 65 minutes of original music and oral interviews, that has not been heard regarding shakerag and the worlds most known southerner. Sit back grab you some sweet tea and listen to the shakerag story.

This soundbite clip is only a fragment of the full CD we are offering. The CD entitled "Blue Sude Shoes in the Hood" became the exclusive musical score for the film documentary film "Blues Suede Shoes in the Hood" 3 years ago. It won the best Documentary and best film at the Biloxi Film Festival. The film has only been shown in a few places around the country. Pictorial footage on the film has not been seen by any Elvis or Tupelo resident or collectors anywhere in the World.

Stay tune as we will for the first time in 2010 make available some of the history of this landmark place called "ShakeRag". Tupelo Mississippi has since put up a historical marker indentifying the maginalize area. Your comments will be screened .

I was the first African-American to have discovered for the "public where Elvis truly live in the exclusive Black neighbood of Park Hill for a short time. I lived in Tupelo for 7 years looking for the unique and unkwnown contributions of African-Americans in the South.
