BIG BOSS MAN: THE LIFE & MUSIC OF BLUESMAN JIMMY REED (2006) BOOK BY WILL ROMANO

Description: This is a previously-owned, but NEARLY NEW copy of the excellent BIG BOSS MAN: THE LIFE & MUSIC OF BLUESMAN JIMMY REED book by WILL ROMANO from 2006. An absolutely essential non-fiction biography book about this legendary bluesman! The book is in VG+ condition with only the slightest signs of previous handling to the cover and a promotional marking in black ink on the first two pages that have been covered up with white stickers, as pictured; otherwise all other pages are like new without any markings, stains, dog-eared corners of any kind. Don't pass this one up! About the book: Alcoholic. Epileptic. Technically challenged. Jimmy Reed nevertheless overcame these roadblocks to become perhaps the most successful R&B/pop cross-over artist of the '50s with songs like “Big Boss Man” and “Bright Lights, Big City.” Musicians, family members, and those whose lives Reed touched offer revealing and heart-wrenching insights into this now-revered bluesman. While Reed's alcoholism was no secret, its effect on his musicianship is less understood. This engaging book tells the real story that until now has not been told.
