Episode 28: MS Blues Trail and Million Dollar Quartet Musical

Land of the Rising Sun: MS Blues Trail and Million Dollar Quartet Musical as Primary SourcesThis two-tiered episode is less about the 1950s, or Sun Records or the blues, and more about the early 21st century and a desire by the creative forces behind both the Mississippi Blues Trail and the Million Dollar Quartet jukebox musical to secure for all time these important cultural milestones. To help me in this analysis are Erin Scott and Daniel Durston. Erin is a documentarian, podcaster and Mississippi blues expert. Daniel is a musician, actor, playwright, reality star, and most notably a stellar Elvis Presley tribute artist. I couldn’t ask for a better team to unpack these two intersecting primary sources, the Mississippi Blues Trail and the Million Dollar Quartet musical.
