Kommentar: These photographs document George Mitchell’s trip to Mississippi, where he searched for then unrecorded blues musicians, including R. L. Burnside, Jessie Mae Jemphill, and Othar Turner. This journey yielded recordings of music now on cherished and touted albums and CDs. From Mitchell’s fieldwork many others discovered the region and its distinctive style of blues.
