Jook right on
blues stories and blues storytellers
by Barry Lee Pearson
"Blues Stories and Blues Storytellers is what author and compiler Barry Lee Pearson calls a "blues quilt." These blues stories, collected by Pearson for thirty years, are told in the blues musicians' own words. The author interviewed over one hundred musicians, recording and transcribing their stores. These are stories from well-known musicians such as John Lee Hooker, Koko Taylor, David "Honeyboy" Edwards, and Little Milton, and from more obscure artists such as Big Luck Carter, Henry Dorsey, Joseph Savage, and J. T. Adams. Pearson provides an introduction to the world of the blues and the genre of blues stories as well as brief biographies of the musicians."--BOOK JACKET.
