Interview with Rev. John Wilkins (Part 1)

Though born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1943, Reverend John Wilkins is a child of the North Mississippi Hill Country. His mother was born in Holly Springs, MS and his father was from Hernando, MS. While John grew up in the city, family parties and neighbourhood picnics featuring country blues and fife and drum bands were never farther than a short drive over the Mississippi state line.
