preserving old things, music, shacks, garage sales, shit off the street and just about anything most folks could care less about...... you know ----- just stuff -----
Music
mostly the older blues and country music like from the 1970's all the way back to the first recordings. drop back 80 or 100 years or more and imagine Charlie Patton or Son House getting off the train at the Hopson Plantation and playing a little music. That shit had to happened all the time...
Heroes
sharecroppers, tenant farmers, old blues and country musicians who suffered thru life

Established in 1998. The B & B stands for bed & beer. We have 10 sharecropper shotgun shacks and 10 rooms in the cotton gin. nothing fancy here folks. If you like the 5 star shit, THEN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. With us, what you see is what you get. we are located just 3 miles south of Clarksdale, Mississippi. Close to the crossroads of highway 61 and 49. You might see Robert Johnson, he stays here all the time.

Who I'd like to meet: anybody and everybody who can find us. we don't have a sign and we aren't listed in the phone book so good luck. no phone or signs tends to keep the uncool people away. here is a short list of some of our guest/friends. Pinetop Perkins, the North Mississippi Allstars, Dwayne, Gary and Cedric Burnside, Kenny Brown, Elvis Costello, Johnny Neel, Morgan Freeman, Big Jack Johnson, Samuel J. Jackson, Super Chikan, Sam Carr, Robert Plant, Jim Dickinson, Kenny Wayne Shepard, John Mayall, Ike Turner, Bob Margolin and GOD knows who's next..... maybe it will be you...........
LOVE THE SHACK UP INN,WAS WONDERFUL VISITING THE GREAT STATE OF MISSISSIPPI AND YOUR ESTABLISHMENT,HOPE TO DO IT AGAIN,SAY HI TO MR.GIANNINI FOR ME,YOUR FRIEND IN MUSIC...D-BO
just spent a night there a few weeks ago (my 2nd time there), i plan on coming back at least once a year, i always stop through there while on tour, because of how peaceful and inspiring it is. I saw that you're building up the stage and concert hall there, i'd be interested in performing there when its completed, see you again soon!
Stayed in the fullilove about a year ago and loved it. Inspirational place. Really a must visit. I recommend a drive along to Crazy Larry's to see his folk art creations. Thanks for the memories
It seems like an age since I stayed in the bin in the gin. And I guess it's been even longer since I last loaded some new songs onto myspace, but I've finally done it. It's probably not your cup of tea, but there's a few dodgy covers and some original stuff too.
Thanks a million Shack Up Inn for joining our ministry of Blues. It's all about peace, love, understanding, and GROOVE. Hope to perform for you sometime. Wishing you the very best in Blues and life! -Big Daddy
