BLUES superstar BB King is returning to the grounds of the old Mississippi Delta cotton fields where as a teenager in the 1940s he was a tractor driver.
On Wednesday, the now 86-year-old King will be back in the tiny farming town of Indianola, Mississippi, to headline his own homecoming celebration. It's a tradition King and the community have enjoyed almost every year for more than three decades.
King and his band are scheduled to perform on the grounds of a former cotton processing plant, which is now a community center and part of the BB King Museum. King is also expected to perform later Wednesday night at Club Ebony, a music joint where King has performed throughout his career that he restored and donated to the museum.
