The roots of much American music lie in the intensely personal art form of the blues. What bluesmen from W.C. Handy to B.B. King have told us about their lives has shaped America's perception of the blues. These life stories provide central insights into blues music and stand as a fascinating form of narrative in their own right. Barry Lee Pearson has conducted dozens of field interviews and collected over a hundred published autobiographies to present this collective portrait of bluesmen's careers as they themselves tell them: their musical learning, communities, work, pleasures, travels, triumphs, and crises.

This book is a meticulously researched study of the roots, spiritual, social and anthropological, of the Afro-American musical form known as the blues. Despite its being arguably the twentieth century's most influential popular art form, the blues' significance and a lot of its vocabulary remain obscure for the majority of its millions of listeners. The author remedied the situation with a learned and wide-ranging survey of the subject, embracing African animist religion, the slave trade, voodoo, hoodoo, the early country blues and its modern urban electric equivalent. The major figures in the music and, most importantly, in the African-American tradition generally, such as Macandal, Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, and Marie Laveau, are all given their rightful place in the history of the blues' development and the book culminates in a moving study of the music's greatest exponent, Robert Johnson, the very personification of the book's title.

In his memoir, O. G. Fillmore Slim breaks down how he went from being the most prolific pimp in America, the legendary gentleman Mack, to an eminent blues musician later in life. Known as The Godfather and Pope of the Game, Slim leads his prostitution operation with charisma, kindness, and charm turning out more than ten thousand women in over thirty years in the game. He preaches the ethics of safe sex and nonviolence. "I pimped with my brain, not with my fists." His gentlemanly approach promotes his highly lucrative business, and in the eyes of many, gives him a highly celebrated and revered reputation in urban street culture. But when Slim emerges from his longest stint in prison-five years-he leaves the pimping life behind and transforms himself into a famous blues musician, which was his original dream. Despite the odds, his stardom soars and he goes on to perform with an array of famous musicians, from B. B. King to Ike and Tina Turner, touring America, Europe, Russia, and beyond. Slim explains how his two worlds-the streets and the entertainment industry-are much more linked than the average person would guess as he tells the unbelievable story of his life.
