Amazing!
I grew up in Mississippi always loving the blues. Thank you Adam Smith! Your podcast really takes me back to my roots!! Bravo!

Good Stuff
So far in the series Adam’s episodes have centered around North Mississippi musical luminaries RL Burnside & Junior Kimbrough. Much has been made of the two bluesmen over the past few decades but the stories are often told by journalists or the like who sweep in from somewhere outside the Deep South and get just a taste of what these men and the music that they played is all about.
This podcast, on the other hand, comes from within. The experiences shared here were lived by the speakers over long periods of time. These aren’t stories from someone’s weekend vacation, these are memories of days gone by for the host and his guests. It’s refreshing to hear something about these men that’s not the same old blues crap that we’ve heard regurgitated a hundred times before.

Important Music Documentation
Adam’s talent and amazing photography work is what brought me to this podcast. Quality subject matter and historically significant field recordings are what has captured my attention. Great listen for music fans or fans of Southern culture and history. I hit subscribe because more episodes have got to be in the works ...am I right?

Highly recommend
Man we were in Oxford at a great time. Some of my best memories were out at Kimbroughs, and Blind Jim’s watching RL and Junior. Adam had a front seat view, this pod is awesome. Y’all should check out his photos from the time. Incredible. Great job Adam

RL and the first 2 episodes
I was in Oxford at this time and it’s fun to walk down memory lane. Learned some stuff too. Hindsight is 20/20, didn’t know what we had at time but evidently Adam did. Bravo.

Must listen for Music and Blues lovers
Adam takes you deep into Hill Country Blues—literally on RL Burnside’s picnic table. Can’t wait to hear what’s next, his passion and knowledge of the subject matter shows through. Juke Joints, pool halls or right behind the drum riser, Adam has been there and knows all the books and crannies.

A must listen!
What a great authentic deep southern show focusing on the MS Blues! Adam Smith takes you back in time 20 + years ago through his experience documenting the Blues over 2 decades. Hearing R.L. Burnside himself telling jokes and playing in his side yard really hits your Blues loving soul!!! Can’t wait for next episode! Bravo!

Fantastic storytelling!
I felt like I got to hang out with RL Burnside for an afternoon... can’t wait to hear more episodes
I looked at Adam’s website and if he has stories like this behind all his images like this one... I wanna buy the movie rights!

A Masterpiece
Any project that Adam Smith is involved in is guaranteed to be a homerun. This is no exception. This podcast is a MUST for any music enthusiast or lover of less known parts of souther culture. It’s amazing to listen to Adam’s photography as it comes alive and speaks... I can’t wait for more episodes.
