Oh, sorry, the Arkansas Blues and Heritage Festival costs this year. For the first time ever in its 33 year history. But just $5 a day, or $10 for a three-day pass. That’s like Depression-era prices. Well, maybe free would’ve been the Depression-era price, but youknowwhatimsayin.

Particularly considering the line-up, which includes regulars like Michael Burks, Bobby Rush, Hubert Sumlin and Pinetop Perkins and Bob Margolin as well as big names like the Cate Brothers, T-Model Ford and Robert Belfour.

Actually, Belfour might not be a big name, but he should be. He’s one of the last of the North Mississippi Hill Country bluesmen. So good.
