"I was born in Clarksdale in 1957; a boomer! I've lived here all of my life; (Except) for about five years, my wife, we'd just been married a year, we decided to move to Jackson to try to branch out and maybe seek our fame and fortunes; I was in the construction business and did good down there and started a family there but just felt the calling of the Delta," says Bubba O'Keefe the current director of Visit Clarksdale in Clarksdale, Mississippi. "The Delta is a unique place, it has a mystique about it, which I'm sure you've noticed already and our parents were aging and so why are we three hours away raising a family when to us, life was more important and precious to be closer to our family at such an early stage of raising our own family;so, we came back and I just love Clarksdale Mississippi."

"Well, I had the great pleasure a few years back of interviewing most of the musicians who played on "Highway 61 Revisited," Dylan's 1965 album, one of his 1965 albums which in my view is still the greatest album ever made by anybody. After all of the magazine features, there was a vast whole of interview material that didn't make it to the articles just because of limited space and I always felt that one day it would make the crux of a good book and this being the 60th anniversary year of Dylan going electric and of "Highway 61" so it seemed an opportune moment."
