You'll probably have better luck looking for "highway" 61 than "route" 61. Also "blues highway" may be a phrase to try.
This site seems to have a lot of info for Mississippi http://www.msbluestrail.org/calendar

I remember reading that article - and I would love to do that trip sometime.
There is also a book called The Blues Highway by Richard Knight:
