U. S. Highway 61, known as the "Blues Highway," rivals Route 66 as one of the most famous roads in American music lore.  The music known as the blues was born in the Mississippi Delta, nurtured on the blood, sweat and tears of African Americans toiling in the fertile fields along the mighty river.  Early blues legends such as Charley Patton, Robert Johnson and Willie Dixon took the sorrow and anguish of poor blacks in the Deep South and created a sound that would help ease their suffering.
