About this title: In this celebration of B.B. King, author Charles Sawyer, a fan and critic who first met King in 1969 at a jazz club in Boston, provides a revealing portrait of the legendary bluesman. In addition to offering biographical material, an analysis of King's blues style, and the story of King's belated recognition, Sawyer explores the ways in which King's music relates to changes in economics and race relations in the Deep South during the 20th century.
