Jackson's Farish Street remains the spiritual home of the city's sound, where F. Jones Corner keeps raw blues alive in a historic filling station and the Alamo Theatre once hosted legends like Elmore James and Cab Calloway. Malaco Records, the city's famed studio, built a national reputation on southern soul and gospel, and that legacy still flows through modern hip-hop and R&B acts. Johnny T's Bistro and Blues and Hal and Mal's carry the tradition forward with live blues and soul every weekend.
