Mississippi/Tennessee 1976 collects Vincenzo Castella's photographs of four months spent among the last Delta bluesmen in 1975, an 80-page black-and-white photobook marking the start of one of Italy's leading photographers' careers.
Barely twenty, Castella listens as much as he shoots, gathering testimonies alongside images of an overlooked "lesser" America — one of small towns, front porches and musicians nearing the end of a tradition few were yet documenting.
A discovery of roots, and the discovery of a photographer.
