A remarkable blend of history and drama seen through the eyes of a
noted New Orleans bluesman. This extraordinary life history is the
result of more than 15 years of recorded conversations, pieced
together into a narrative of a uniquely American experience.
Joseph's colorful portrayals of the characters who parade through
his life document more than 70 years of changing relationships
between blacks and whites. In his own words, he describes growing
up in Louisiana, working a rice plantation, and how Gospel music
put him on a career path. His candid remarks underscore the
economic necessity prevalent in a musician's life. Within the tales
of gigs, card games, and romantic exploits are intimate glimpses of
legendary figures, including Billie Holiday and Muddy Waters. His
descriptions of performing in New Orleans, New York, and Europe are
especially revealing, filled with life experiences as rich as the
rhythm and lyrics of the blues he played .
