Clarksdale, Mississippi‘s “King of the Juke Joint Runners,” Red Paden,has been operating jukes for most of his life. Before his current,world-famous venue — Red’s Lounge — he had the Tin Top and, for a while,ran another late-night joint called Red Wine.
As the decadeshave passed by, he’s watched many musical friends move up to the bigblues band in the sky. Today, even as he helps usher in a new generationof blues players, Red never forgets the blues heroes who came beforeand the handful of older players still among us.
