As long as you’re heading into Restaurants on the blog…

If you’re in Greenville or anywhere nearby make sure you head over to Doe’s Eat Place.

If you’re in Clarksdale, try Abe’s or Chamoun’s….

Should you make it back to LA without having driven through Tyler, you can get an approximation at “Dr. Hoggly Woggly’s Tyler Texas BBQ.” It’s on Sepulveda in the Valley, and they’ve got astroturf outside.

hot record. Bobby Charles, who you’ve posted on before, wrote two of the better songs on here: Joe and La La, La La. I would suggest anybody in to Bobby Charles to give this a try. I love Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town… the sound is different than the rest, like a vintage recording, but it knocked me out when it popped up on a shuffle one day.

AD, good to hear you’re in town. Assuming you’re heading to Clarksdale at some point–try to stay at the Shack Up Inn! If you make it down to Jax, drop us a line and we’ll ply you with booze.
