Arrival of BB King book

This book is excellent, still reading it. Charlie Sawyer has done an incredible job researching and putting this autobiography together. I would recommend it to anyone interested in reading a true story about a blues legend.

BLUES BOY!

The authorized biography of the foremost blues singer of our time. "...a powerful, honest, and admirable chronicle of his life... very entertaining, despite the inevitable tensions and tragedies which are inmplicit in the lives of black artists who, like B.B., have to fight wave after wave of bigotry and discrimination regardless of how talented they happen to be. Wonderful photographs and a fine story" (from the dj)
