"In the heart of the Mississippi Delta, the air hangs heavy with the ghosts of the blues. But at the Blue Front Cafe, the music is very much alive. To sit with Jimmy 'Duck' Holmes is to trace the lineage of the Bentonia style back to its source. It is an invitation to master the 'haunting' minor-skip tunings and the hypnotic, polyrhythmic soul that defines this rare tradition. This isn't just a lesson; it’s a pilgrimage to the last of the original juke joints to learn from the last of the greats."
