I must be thinking of another book.<br /><br /> There are just eight pages which include one taken of Earl with his family in late 60s and another from a 1949 Chicago Defender press release. Also included is a session discography which details his work with others such as Johnny O'Neal, Little Sam Davis, A.C Reed, Jackie Brenston etc etc.Alan Balfournoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18026601729833110.post-1503446953208565652012-04-22T10:07:58.277-07:002012-04-22T10:07:58.277-07:00Great info Alan!

Very well written and thoroughly researched (there's a vast list of those he interviewed dating back to 1975). It is solid text no illustrations whatsoever but told with accuracy and obvious affection.<br /><br />Two years previously Miss UP published Sebastian's much shorter The Life & Music of B.B. King. Essentially a straightforward and succinctly told story of Bs "journey" from Mississippi to the Apollo and the Royal Albert Hall, London. <br /><br />But I've digressed.Alan Balfournoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18026601729833110.post-27982495195610860462012-04-22T09:41:26.329-07:002012-04-22T09:41:26.329-07:00Great info.
