Great Southern Drives: Delta Blues Highway

Journey from Memphis to Merigold, Mississippi, for juke joints, hot tamales, and Morgan Freeman at the crossroads.

Blues Highway: Willie Seaberry of Po Monkey's
Art Meripol 

Merigold

Po Monkey’s
Owner Willie Seaberry (aka Po Monkey, shown here) makes you feel at home in his juke joint near Clarksdale.

Just outside of Merigold. There isn’t a phone number, a Web site, or a road marker. Just head south down State 61 from Clarksdale, and turn right at the Pemble Farms sign. Take the immediate left fork onto a gravel road, and go about 1 mile; Po Monkey’s is on the left.
