B. B. King has the blues running through his blood.
Growing up in the rural poverty of the Mississippi Delta, King
first experienced the blues at nine years old, when his mother
passed away. The man of the house before the end of his first
decade, he used this strife as a source of inspiration and launched
one of the most celebrated musical careers in American history.
King has led a remarkable life, and this riveting autobiography
dramatizes his whirlwind adventures from the Memphis of the forties
to the Moscow of the nineties with unflinching candor and
sincerity. But most of all, B.B.'s story is the story of the
blues--the evolution from country acoustic to urban electric, the
birth and explosion of rock 'n' roll--and B.B.'s own long, but
ultimately triumphant, struggle for crossover success, during which
he remained unwaveringly true to the music of his heart.
