Rusty silos off-road were smothered in kudzu vines, signs advertised $1 buck buffets, and the Mississippi ran a muddy brown. Back in Memphis, I’d been to Graceland, to Sun Studios, and was now searching out the best blues legend in the Mississippi Delta. We can talk to our American friends and doom-scroll its news in real time, but the place itself seems untouchable. American culture is a ravishing steamroller, something you cannot get out of the way of, nor ever really want to.
