East Tennessee isn't typically mentioned among stock car racing's
formative hotbeds. But the region from Bristol to Oneida and
Chattanooga encapsulates a significant portion of the sport's
history. From pioneers like Brownie King and Paul Lewis of Johnson
City to former national champions Joe Lee Johnson of Chattanooga
and L.D. Ottinger of Newport, East Tennessee has produced many of
NASCAR's great drivers. The region is home to one of the world's
largest sports stadiums in the Bristol Motor Speedway, but NASCAR
also made regular visits to other area tracks. Whether the surface
is red clay, asphalt or brushed concrete, East Tennessee still
boasts some of the world's fastest, most competitive racing. Join
author and racing insider David McGee as he presents a vast array
of colorful characters whose passion fueled a sport that has gone
from primitive to prime time.
The Lives in Music series meshes biography with discography. This
debut title profiles the legendary King of Blues, B.B. King. An
opening essay charts his life from childhood in the Mississippi
Delta up to his first studio session. The author then takes an
inside look at his distinguished career, album by album, offering a
critical appraisal of each recording and a portrait of the making
of each album. First-hand interviews with B.B. King, as well as
producers, engineers, arrangers, and key musicians, bring these
sessions to life and provide readers a context for understanding
B.B. King's recordings in light of his career and life events that
shaped them. This definitive book also incudes a complete history
of every B.B. King session.
