Delta Blues Museum Online Store

In the Delta, a “juke joint” describes a place for music, dancing, and socializing. Located out from town, these were cultural centers where the Delta blues were created, shaped, and performed. Robert Johnson played his last set at Three Forks, a juke joint at a crossroads near Greenwood. You can see a movie version in Sinners, the recent Oscar-winning film set in 1930’s Clarksdale. The Nighthawks—Frank Frost, Sam Carr, and Big Jack Johnson—who later became known as the Jelly Roll Kings, played classic juke joint tunes, recording and touring starting in 1979.

The Three Forks sign is displayed in the Museum gallery, as well as exhibits about Robert Johnson and the Jelly Roll Kings. Learn more about Three Forks at the “Explore and Learn” section of our website and take a virtual tour of the Jelly Roll Kings life and times.

Souvenirs about juke joints are available from our Gift Shop: exclusive Three Forks tees and replicas of the Three Forks sign, Jelly Roll Kings CDs, juke joint histories and photo books, posters, and greeting cards.
