YZ Ealey, our third Natchez bluesman, showed off his guitar chops while H.C. Porter photographed him for the Blues @ Home project.
Seventy-four-year-old YZ grew up playing the guitar and listening to local street musicians in and around Natchez. He continues to be a staple for the Natchez blues scene, and he is our 18th blues legend. Stay tuned for photos from his shoot at the Blues @ Home limited edition photo gallery.
Check out what's happening with Blues @ Home, a project by award-winning Mississippi artist H.C. Porter and renowned producer, composer and songwriter Tena Clark. This project will document Mississippi's living blues legends through Porter's mixed media paintings, oral histories and music recordings collected by Clark. We will blog our journeys with these amazing blues men and women on the road across Mississippi.
