THE

MUSIC

The hot, dusty Mississippi Delta and

Memphis, TN, known alternatively as

"the Eden of the Blues" and "the Home

of the Blues", are prolific and legendary

producers of unique and diverse Blues'

greats like Robert Johnson, Elmore

James, Jr. Kimrough and BB King.

Drawing continously from that tradition

comes Blind Mississippi Morris.

Morris comes from a talented lineage.

His cousins, Robert and Mary Diggs, led

the famed Memphis Sheiks, and his

Aunt Mary Tanner played with the

"Harps of Melody".  Morris is also a

cousin of the late, great Willie Dixon.

Blind since age 4, Morris is the very

embodiment of the Delta Bluesman.  He

has been called 'a new disciple of the

Delta' and the 'Real Deal on Beale' and,

he was rated one of the 10 best

harmonica players in the world by

Bluzharp magazine.
