Craig Ray, chairman of the Blues Trail Commission, proudly unveiled a new Blues Trail marker in Liverpool, marking a significant milestone in a journey that began seven years ago. The Blues Trail, which started in 2004, now boasts 217 markers, primarily in Mississippi, with a rich concentration in the Delta region. Ray emphasized the importance of live music, noting that cities like Clarksdale offer nightly performances while others host regular blues nights. Looking ahead, there are ambitious plans to expand the trail internationally, particularly in the UK and Europe, showcasing Mississippi’s profound influence on the global blues scene.
