The Autobiography of B.B. King
From the rural poverty of the Mississippi Delta to his celebrated position as the world's leading blues musician, B.B. King has led a remarkable life. Now, in this riveting autobiography, the fabled blues guitarist tells his unforgettable story with unflinching candor and sincerity.
'Blues All Around Me' is about the music, the soulful sound of a brilliant guitarist/singer narrating the evolution of blues from country acoustic to urban electric; the birth and explosion of rock 'n' roll; and B.B.'s own long suffering but triumphant struggle for crossover success - in which he remained unwaveringly true to the music of his heart.
After forty-five years on the road, B.B. King, at age 70, has paid the dues to sing his blues. He writes as he sings, with wisdom, wit, and gut-level honesty. B.B. is an enduring institution of popular culture, and as 'Blues All Around Me' testifies, a master storyteller whose riveting tale will, like his music, touch the hearts of countless fans.
