  The King Biscuit Blues Festival 2003 - Day 1
 
  
Just an hour South of Memphis lies the Blues Fest that sets the standard, informally known as "Da Biscuit". Maybe it's the knowledge that this is the land where the Blues began, the Blues history of the sleepy towns of Clarksdale, Ms. and Helena, Ak., the cotton fields along the highway, or the variety of BBQ vendors that surround the deep-fried twinkie stand. Whatever the reasons, this fest remains one of the favorite STLBlues fests to be found anywhere.

Think of a county fair based upon the Blues, and you'll have an idea what to expect from this world-class music event. Day 1 was the rainy day of fest, no matter to the music fan drawn to this event. Ponchos and umbrellas were the order of the day, as there's very little that deters the veteran fest warrior. The weather turned beautiful all the way through to Saturday evening and Magic Slim, when a short mist cooled things down, accompanied by Magic's version of 'Feels like rain'. We give the King Biscuit a 5 on the old STLBluesometer - a 'don't miss' Blues event! Here's our photo gallery of the 2003 King Biscuit Blues Festival - we hope you enjoy!
