Description: "This final collection of interviews by Steve Cushing presents a focused set of conversations with blues drummers and guitarists, with additional brief entries by record producers and others in the blues scene. Rich with anecdotes and colorful details, these interviews present an on-the-ground view of musicians' lives in the mid-20th century as they traveled through the blues and roots music circuit, both geographically and musically, mentoring with the greats of previous generations, including Tampa Red, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Rogers, and many others"--

Review Quotes: "Steve Cushing's seen it, been there, and done it all--a blues musician interviewing other musicians both well-known and lesser-known, along with the outliers of the blues and jazz scene--in an informative book."--Mike Rowe, coeditor of Blues Unlimited: Essential Interviews from the Original Blues Magazine
