This stretch of Clarksdale has a really cool vibe to it. And Cat Head is one of the reasons. The store has music and art, which is about all you need in Clarksdale. More

If you're in Clarksdale for authentic delta blues a visit to Cathead and a chat with Roger Stolle is the first thing you should do. He dialed us right into all the nightlife and hooked me up with the quintessential delta blues double CD. More

Very limited folk art and limited selection music. Unless you are a real art buff, this place isn't worth the stop. More
