The Language of the Blues's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm a witty, ribald and unparalleled dictionary of over 160 words and phrases found in blues songs: from "alcorub" (rubbing alcohol sniffed to get high) to "zuzu" (New Orleans slang for a cookie). I'm packed with anecdotes from my author's interviews with such legends as Little Milton, Robben Ford, Henry Gray, John Hammond, Robert Jr. Lockwood, Bob Margolin, Bonnie Raitt, Smiley Ricks, Hubert Sumlin and Jimmie Vaughan. I also have 20+ photos--some rare and previously unpublished--and a foreword by Dr. John. READ MY REVIEWS & INTERVIEWS WITH MY AUTHOR.
