Blind Willie McTell, 1903-1959, was one of the most gifted musical artists of his generation, with an exquisite voice and a sublime talent for the twelve-string guitar. As Bob Dylan wrote, 'nobody can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell' - yet his repertoire was infinitely wider than that. Why, then, did he drift in and out of the public eye, being 'rediscovered' time and again through chance meetings; and why, until now, has so little been written about the life of this extraordinary man?Blind from birth, McTell never behaved as if he were handicapped by his lack of sight and he explodes every stereotype about blues musicians. Michael Gray has travelled the American South and beyond to unearth the fascinating story of McTell's life - uncovering the secrets of his ancestry, the hardships he suffered and the successes he enjoyed at a time when recording contracts didn't lift you out of singing on the street.In this personal and moving odyssey into a lost world of early blues music, a vulnerable black population and more, Gray peels back the many layers of a tragic, occasionally shocking but ultimately uplifting story. He gives us an intimate portrait of a remarkable man, showing how his life connects to the tumultuous sweep of history. Getting the story is part of the story itself, and Gray's quest for facts and details reveals that little may have changed in the Deep South even today. Part biography, part travelogue, part social history, this is an atmospheric, unforgettable tale.

This fascinating compendium explains the most unusual, obscure, and curious words and expressions from vintage blues music. Utilizing both documentary evidence and invaluable interviews with a number of now-deceased musicians from the 1920s and '30s, blues scholar Stephen Calt unravels the nuances of more than twelve hundred idioms and proper or place names found on oft-overlooked "race records" recorded between 1923 and 1949. From "aggravatin' papa" to "yas-yas-yas" and everything in between, this truly unique, racy, and compelling resource decodes a neglected speech for general readers and researchers alike, offering invaluable information about black language and American slang.

Must Win chronicles the country's most storied high school football team as it, like the town it represents, tries to regain past glory. Nestled amid cotton, pine, and swamps, the Deep South outpost of Valdosta, Georgia, has long drawn pilgrims from across the country to the home of the Wildcats, the winningest high school football team in America. Christened by national media as "Title Town, USA," Valdosta has thrived on the continuity of dominance: sons still play in front of fathers and grandfathers, creased men in pickups still offer steak dinners as a reward for gridiron glory, and Friday nights in the 11,000-seat stadium known as Death Valley still hold a central role in the town's social fabric. Now that place is in peril. As much as Valdosta is a romantic symbol of traditional American values, things are changing here just as they are in small towns everywhere. In Must Win, author Drew Jubera goes inside the country's most famous high school football team to chronicle its dramatic 2010 season, a quest by a program that's down but not out to regain past glory for both the team and the town it represents. This town, this school, and these people have been rocked by forces that have hit the entire country, but they're a long way from giving up. They still believe in the power of a game to overcome all. With a new coach, a new optimism, and a kaleidoscopic cast that includes an aspiring rapper, a beekeeper's son, the best athlete in the state, and the heir to a pro legacy cut short by a crack dealer's bullet, these Wildcats have been given one more chance. Must Win is the American story written across a bright green playing field.

When Pete Johnson appeared on WRFG in Georgia, Curly Weaver’s daughter, Cora Mae Bryant, rang the radio station to say it was “the best goddam blues” she had heard.Ain’t Bad For A Pink records a life dedicated to music. As a young teenager in the Sixties, Pete ‘Snakey Jake’ Johnson met legendary blues players Sleepy John Estes, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Roosevelt ‘The Honeydripper’ Sykes, Jimmy Witherspoon, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Son House who taught him slide. Subsequently, Pete Johnson’s interpretation of the country blues has been as close as possible to the original spirit of Southern music. Meet Boomtown the Rat, the girls whose clothes just wouldn’t stay put, and the top-hatted man who had three wakes. Imagine being kissed by each and every one of the Three Degrees, being mistaken for a beggar in Montmartre or having to threaten with a meat cleaver to get your gig money. How about taking a pee next to the PM or forgetting where and when you met the Stones? Or helping Peter Green to remember his previous life with Fleetwood Mac?Whilst celebrating the country blues, Pete Johnson lovingly describes some beautiful guitars, examines the economics of music shop retail and offers a few perspectives on the baby-boomer generation. This is the man who cooked breakfast for Jimmy Witherspoon. This is the man who topped the blues charts in Georgia. This is the man who was almost arrested for snorting snuff in Stoke-on-Trent. This book celebrates the life of someone not famous or infamous; an ordinary man who had extraordinary experiences through being part of the post-war explosion in pop music and the blues. Ain’t Bad For A Pink will appeal to readers interested in the pop explosion of the Sixties and Seventies, the country blues and the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.
