Description:   This is a Pre-Owned book. All our books are in Good or better condition. Format: Hardcover Author: Bill Wyman ISBN10: 0789480468 ISBN13: 9780789480460 In this evocative and intensely personal history of the blues Bill Wyman pays tribute to the musicians who inspired him and whose music he took around the world as a member of the Rolling Stones. The starting point of Bills Odyssey is the journey of African slaves to the plantations of Americas Deep South. We follow their descendants as they walk travel the highways and ride the railroads out of the Delta and the troubled South via Memphis to the northern cities of Chicago and St. Louis. But this is no superficial history: Bill Wymans in-depth odyssey reveals a society where poverty and injustice as well as love and faith found their expression in a musical style that gave birth to rock n roll. Location shots of smoky juke joints railroad stations and endless highways combine with richly detailed maps to bring the Blues alive. Feature spreads with previously unpublished photographs from Bill Wymans personal archive showcase 40 Blues legends from Robert Johnson to John Lee Hooker telling the story of their fascinating and often troubled lives. Bill Wyman is a legend in his own right. He has known and played with many of the Blues legends and his personal knowledge and unprecedented access give this book an authenticity that is almost impossible to match.
