Greenville musician Little Bill Wallace inspires a couple to slow dance with a blues style reminiscent of his friend and contemporary B.B. King while performing at Boss Hall’s in Leland, MS in 1995. Club owner Boss Hall says he no longer can afford to pay live musicians to play at his club because of competition from casinos in nearby Greenville. “In fact, most of the time I can barely afford to pay the light bill in this place,” says Hall. “Sometimes I think it’s not worth opening at all.”
Bill Steber, a photographer for the Nashville Tennessean, is examining the blues throughout the Mississippi Delta.
