Found a old style Juke Joint in Tiptonville, TN

Just north of the main intersection... How descriptive this that... Just go up one block and cross over the train tracks and there it is.

Mind you, they play rap music but from the owner that I talked with they have a few blues tunes in there jukebox. This is would be an idea place to cut an album, rent it out and invite in some of the ladies in town to sing to and wha-la.

If you love the blues and are just out one day, this place no doubt has seen the likes of some of the finest bluesmen the south has ever seen. All neatly tucked away.

Memphis in May 2008...

Went to it... This is not my thing, I prefer to be up close to the musicians, not a eighth of a mile from them. The Blues Tent was decent.

Would I do it over again, depending on who's playing.
