Elmore Williams

Blues @ Home spent some time in Natchez last week for three more amazing photo shoots.

First, we hung out with blues legend Elmore, aka Elmo, Williams at his home. He's a legend firmly planted in his Natchez roots. "I like the blues cause it tells a story...it's for real," Williams told us.

For these shoots, H.C. Porter was joined by musician and Delta State University student Caleb Hollingsworth, who helped us with the oral history portion of the project while project manager and oral historian Lauchlin Fields approaches maternity leave.

Elmore is one of Mississippi's true legends. He said the blues has become a part of him. And, that's certainly not hard to tell by hearing him talk about it. Stay tuned for photographs from this and all photo shoots, which can be viewed and purchased online in the Blues @ Home Photo Gallery.
