Reviews

[Patrick · Rating 4 out of 5]

The result of a trip through the United States at the very beginning of the 1960's. The text consists entirely of the answers or responses etc to the questions the author presumably asked. Good primary source, but kinda a coffee table book.

[Wes Freeman · Rating 3 out of 5]

A book I essentially skimmed in college for hardass things that bluesmen would say. Should probably go back and give it a more sensitive reading, but until then I'm leaving it with 3 stars.
