Experience a cool splash of music history from the Bayou State!
This intensely personal and entertaining account is a snapshot of
Blues from an outsider welcomed into the inner circles of Southern
Blues icons. Englishman Julian C. Piper spent a year abroad at
Louisiana State University and played blues primarily at the Blues
Box in Baton Rouge. There he met many of the musicians with whom he
conducted interviews between 1987 and 1988. Those interviews form
the basis of this book. Through his close friendship with Blues Box
owner Tabby Thomas and his son Chris, Piper collected stories of
blues luminaries including Silas Hogan, Robert Pete Williams,
Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter, Lonesome Sundown, Chris Thomas King,
Lightening Slim, and many more.
