"Robertson offers the whole picture, warts and all. In doing so, he honors the music of artists who have enriched his life--and opens the door for his readers to experience the same magic."--Blues Blast Magazine
In Dust: More Lives of the Poets (with Guitars), Ray Robertson digs deep, offering up an eclectic gathering of a dozen biographical and critical portraits of some of the twentieth century's most innovative, influential, and fascinating musicians. From rock to folk, blues to gospel, country to the unclassifiable; from the famous, to the forgotten, to the barely known, Ray Robertson combines a novelist's eye for dramatic detail with an unapologetic fanboy's obsession with the lives and lasting artistic achievements of twelve of his musical heroes.
