- Morgan Freeman is co-owner of Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Morgan met the Inc crew driving across the US on Land Rover Expedition America and talks blues and life in the Mississippi Delta.
We were in there 2/16/23
Had a great time. Didn't get to see Morgan (big M, little organ), but we got to meet some downtown locals & some of them played that night.
Will will definitely be going back.
Good on you, Morgan Freeman. Mississippi and Clarksdale are awesome. I had a wonderful time in your club and in the South in general.
Mr Freeman your are a fine actor and like me you love the blues and for all that you have done for Clarksdale
i lived in clarksdale all my life and was raised here its a small town but very bad & shootings almost every night But i love morgan freeman and i like what hes doing down here keep it up
I visited there last year,i heard about lots of shootings too!
Man I love the Mississippi area, I love the blues! Clarksdale is amazing place I was fortunate to visit this year ! Best wishes from England :)
Nice documentary. I remember going to the Sunflower River Blues & Gospel Festival, to celebrate my birthday, long before he ever built that club! I first went in 1995 and the stage was setup on the back of an old train station's loading dock. No security, no fences. I got up on the backstage with a small cooler and was handing out beers to these old dudes that had just finished a their set. One old Blues cat was in his 90's!. Had an awesome time! I'll tell you one thing not mentioned in the video, above that stage at Ground Zero Blues Club are sound proof hotel rooms! I've heard they are VERY plush! I'd been going to that club for about 8 years before I ever even heard of them. They kinda keep that a secret.
The last music that I kept in my heart is The Blues. I wish I could travel to Mississippi to keep it in my soul.
I had the good fortune to get to play at Ground Zero a couple of years ago. One of the coolest venues I ever played at along with Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa and the Whiskey A Go Go in LA.
Played 4 sets at GZ Clarksdale this past weekend. A dream come true. Next night found us at GZBC in Biloxi opening up for Jimmy Hall. Blessed.
I've always wanted to go to Morgan's club Ground Zero..Hope to go there one day .I'm actually not far from it here in far SE Arkansas so really have no excuse for not already gone...I love the blues and would love to go just to hear the real thing performed by ppl that can truly capture the original blues sound as it was intended ..
Been to ground Zero many times & the food is southern & great...Ive lived in Indianola, Webb & Tutwiler playing bass & raising catfish...I miss Ms..Beautiful State.
Larry Grisham & The Beat Daddys - one of my all time favorite bands and great friends. Look up their music and enjoy!
Good music 🎵🎶 and people most definitely
Nice video I absolutely love Clarksdale! I put my top choices up , the Ground Zero Club is definitely in it for places to visit
I LUV The BLUEZ!!!
Morgan you are so brilliant
Hey Jimi, loved your music. X
I can honestly say...I played the Blues Harp at the Ground Zero Club with a Blues Harp Session Workshop. They at the workshop, when scheduled...they all play their Harps, at the Ground Zero one night during the workshop... met retired Secret Service Agent, a student of the Workshop, who was an secret service agent, when John Kennedy was killed in Dallas...Jim was not in the investigation but what a conversation...It was on my Bucket List..I did it too. Real proud of it too.....God Bless the Blues and all music. We got to be Angels....LOL
Thank you Morgan Freeman....hope to meet you when I "get back" to the Ground Zero...someday real soon....I wonder if the "Red Man" is still around...He was a Black blues singer around 92 at the time, dressed in a Red Suit, Tie Shirt and Red Hat he sang the blues and it was just a wonderful experience, God Bless him.
Heading there next week (again)
Morgan Freeman = the Jimi Hendrix Experience 🎸
That dude was playing a gas can and I think it’s bad ass 🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎
A boy named Elvis was singing "gutbucket" blues way before anybody ever heard of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones!

Regards from libya blues in vain💕
This why Rooling stones were great
Jimmy still playing Hendrix had to die to become a freeman
whats the name of the doco this clip is from guys ?
Weird I just watched a interview with Jimi Hendrix and he said he was super chicken lol.
Some bad information here. Super Chicken is NOT one of the original blues musicians! First generation blues musicians were playing in the 20s and 30s, long before he was born -- he wasn't even part of the next generation of players in the 40s and 50s. Also, the Stones (1960s) were mostly influenced by Chess Records, Chicago sound (often electrified delta blues).
The Stones were heavily influenced by musicians that played in the Clarksdale area in the 40s and 50s including John Lee Hooker, Muddy Watters, and Howlin Wolf who all toured with the Stones.
Morgan Freeman first acting gig was when he was Jimmy Hendrix sounds wild but it's him he married Jimmy's ex lol
in realtà è Jimi Hendrix
As Hound Dog said, Gotta go, got a go, be back some old day
