Customer Reviews

Blues Bible

This Book has compiled some of the greatest Blues players from the past and present. Facts that I would probably not have known otherwise and it also lists their work so you can buy the music for your collection as well. I would recommend this book for anyone who is new to the Blues or not. If you want to know, this is the book to have.

The Blues, baby.

My husband LOVES this book ~ I bought it for him for his birthday. He's a big, big Howlin-Wolf sized blues fan!
