Highway 61 - a wide open road under a vast, unpredictable sky - was a lifeline for migrant workers who left the cottonfields of the South for the tenements of Chicago as they went in search of better lives.	The 'Boogie Man' is honoured with this street dedication in his home town of Clarksdale, Mississippi.
This mural in Leland, Mississippi depicts local bluesmen. It appears on the cover of 'The Blues Highway: New Orleans to Chicago'. Guitarist Eddie Cusic is seen here standing in front of his own image.	BB King's Blues Club is a Beale Street stalwart in Memphis. King, who made his name playing on Beale, took a leading role in the regeneration of the street which is now one of the most exciting music hubs in America.
Bars along the Big Easy's Bourbon Street stay open all night. New Orleans today is proud of its jazz legacy; you'll find great music oozing from bars across the French Quarter and beyond.	This 1955 pecos-biege Cadillac is used for music tours of Memphis. It's seen here outside 'The Arcade', a fifties-style diner. Roots of Rhythm Travel can organise Cadillac tours for you.
Dockery Farms near Cleveland in the Mississippi Delta is the place where Henry Sloan taught a young Charley Patton how to play. Patton, of course, would go on to define the Delta blues sound.	This lone, squat shack bordering a cottonfield is a familiar image in the Mississippi Delta where life can still be tough for working families. But, for blues lovers, this is an evocative place.
