John Lee Hooker - Tupelo

"John Lee Hooker recorded a blues song titled "Tupelo" about a fictional flood of Tupelo, roughly corresponding to the flood of the Mississippi River that ravaged Greenville (190 miles WSW of Tupelo) and other Mississippi Delta cities in 1927. Tupelo, like other cities in Northeast Mississippi's hill country, has not flooded, but it was severely damaged in a 1936 tornado." - Wikipedia
