Taming Mississippi County, Arkansas--CD by Joe Chipman


People in Mississippi County, Arkansas know the wonderful  talent Joe Chipman from Manila, AR has for telling stories about our Delta in his songs. He has been a local favorite for many years. . . .Born and raised on a cotton farm, he had first hand experience with the bitter sweet challenges of farming in the Delta. . . .He also loved listening to the stories of which his Grandpa and other old-timer's spoke--times that were hard but rewarding. . .Precious memories of family, home, friends, struggle, love of the land. . . .He never forgot them and now he's sharing them with us! 
We are honored to offer Joe's first album on sale as a CD titled, Taming Mississippi County: Hard Times In Northeast Arkansas. He has written original songs such as: "Hard Times", "Cotton Pickin' Time in the Delta", "Roll on Mississippi", "80 Rows of Cotton" that tell the history of early 20th century life on the Delta.  Joe has such a talent for producing a mix of original songs and narration that bring back memories of cotton farming as it once was

If you're from Mississippi County or love cotton farms or folk music, you'll want this CD.  It's a wonderful mix of Delta history. It's our story in song. . . .
