"No one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell."The great pre-war blues musician Blind Willie McTell was one of the most gifted artists of his generation, with an exquisite voice and a sublime talen for the 12-string guitar. Yet he never achieved stardom, and until now little has been written about his extraordinary life.
(Bob Dylan)
"Gray's wonderful book...brings to light not just an elusive artist but a lost world."
(Observer)
"Not just an authoritative portrait of the great bluesman, but a vivid history of the South... Gray gives brilliantly evocative descriptions of the backwaters he visits and the people he meets. *****"
