Versatility Personified: The Cash McCall Story

By Cash McCall and Bill Dahl

From the co-author, Bill Dahl: "This was supposed to be Cash McCall's autobiography, presented in the first person. We just ran out of time. The multi-talented blues and soul singer/guitarist was already suffering the ravages of stage 4 lung cancer when I began interviewing him for this project. I tried to exacerbate the process as best I could via the phone lines between Chicago and Memphis, hoping I could obtain everything I needed to do his life story justice in case his health took a sudden turn for the worse, but we were seldom able to talk more than once every week or two by phone. Although this biography certainly didn't turn out the way I originally envisioned, it hopefully offers concentrated insight into a vastly talented but seriously underrated performer, musician, songwriter, and producer who never allowed his sound to grow stale, his chops to atrophy, or his attitude to slide downhill. To the very end of his life, he remained optimistic about his latest CD, a song he'd just written, or his projected recovery from a brutal disease that eventually removed him from our midst. I'm much the better person for having known him. I just wish he was still here to see the story of his life at last completed."
