Here is what USA Today has to say about Clarksdale, one of it’s 20 nominees.

“Those with an interest in music history should have the town of Clarksdale at the top of their list. This town in the Mississippi Delta played an important role in the development of the blues, a history you can explore at the Delta Blues Museum.”
