It’s not difficult to find a blues festival, a quirky museum, or a hot tamale that will blister your tongue around here. But go a little deeper, ask a few probing questions, and the big adventure begins.

This is how you’ll meet the Patriot, a knight in chain mail waiting for his final call to battle in a peaceful cemetery, or learn where that welcoming musician singing “Highway 61 Blues” got his talent. That’s how you’ll discover that a “cathead” can refer to a work of folk art or a homemade biscuit, and how you’ll realise that if you open that mojo bag, your good fortune may turn bad.
