The hot, dusty Mississippi Delta and Memphis, TN, known alternatively as "the Eden of the Blues" and "the Home of the Blues", are prolific and legendary producers of unique and diverse Blues' greats like Robert Johnson, Elmore James, Jr. Kimrough and BB King. Drawing continously from that tradition comes Blind Mississippi Morris.
Morris comes from a talented lineage. His cousins, Robert and Mary Diggs, led the famed Memphis Sheiks, and his Aunt Mary Tanner played with the "Harps of Melody". Morris is also a cousin of the late, great Willie Dixon. Blind since age 4, Morris is the very embodiment of the Delta Bluesman. He has been called 'a new disciple of the Delta' and the 'Real Deal on Beale' and, he was rated one of the 10 best harmonica players in the world by Bluzharp magazine. |
