Mississippi is the birthplace of the blues: Charley Patton, Robert Johnson, and Muddy Waters came out of the Delta, and B.B. King carried the style worldwide. Tupelo produced Elvis Presley, Meridian gave country music its father in Jimmie Rodgers, and the Hill Country around Holly Springs spawned its own raw blues offshoot. Gospel and Jackson soul round out the legacy.
