Posted by: barbaradeway

Video duration: 210 seconds

We stumbled upon this Taj Mahal of a juke joint in the small town of Hollandale, MS, a rural community outside Rolling Fork, MS, the hometown of Muddy Waters.
Decorated from end to end and ceiling to floor, this juke was the love child of an elderly couple who lived all their lives in the town.
