Blues All Around Me - by B B King & David Ritz (Paperback)

Blues All Around Me is a memoir by the undisputed king of the blues, B.B.

King, that tells the story of his life, from poverty in the Mississippi Delta to success as an artist.

The book is described as a "treasure trove of information...told with real feeling" (Washington Post Book World) and reads like a warm conversation with a close friend.

It spans tragedy, triumph, and everything in between, and how blues music changed during its migration from the Mississippi Delta to urban areas such as Chicago.

Rolling Stone calls it a "very American success story [told] with the lyricism and leisurely pace of a born storyteller." This is a must-read for any fan of B.B.

King or blues music in general, as it provides an intimate look into the life of a musical legend.
