Description
|
|
|
|
From his first recordings in the 1940s, Riley B. "Blues Boy" King has been the quintessential advocate of the blues; his powerful vocals and his unique, fluid guitar playing took him from tiny Itta Bena, Mississippi, to worldwide renown, and have influenced generations of musicians. This book, a revised and expanded edition of The B.B. King Companion, collects outstanding interviews, reviews, and articles about King's life and career, from his time as a disc jockey in Memphis hawking Pepticon elixir, his earning the nickname "Beale Street Blues Boy," and his early tours and recordings to his current fame as the greatest living exponent of the blues style. "The ultimate resource for fans of the badass bluesman. It doesn't get any bluer than this."—Guitar One Magazine
