Tutwiler is where the blues began its migration from oral tradition to popular art form. Here, WC Handy, known as the 'Father of the Blues', first heard a sharecropper moan his 12-bar prayer while the two waited for a train in 1903. That meeting is immortalized by a lonely, faded mural that feels a thousand years old.
