5.0 out of 5 stars
A labor of love,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Soul of New Orleans: A Legacy of Rhythm and Blues (Paperback)
This book gets five stars.But Jeff really needs to get someone to copyread this text. Not to pick nits, but some words are mispelled and some teeny weeny inaccurate details might tend to take Hannusch's hard work and clear dedication to the subject matter with an unnecessary grain of salt. Okay, enough of that. The fact is, if it weren't for what happened musically in New Orleans, we'd all very likely be listening to something else right now and not having as much fun. And if Jeff Hannusch hadn't taken the time to research and write up the history of New Orleans rhythm and blues, it might never have been done. Five stars, Jeff. Hire a copyreader for the next edition and this book will sparkle more than it does already. -- NA

Great Soulfull Writing - A Love Letter to NOLA Music,
By John Preble "UCM Museum Director" (ABITA SPRINGS, LA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Soul of New Orleans: A Legacy of Rhythm and Blues (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book full of great writing and great photos. The author has done a lot of footwork covering the subject. I tell all my Cresent City Music Loving Friends to get this book. It will be very hard for other authors to come behind this book and cover the same subject. Get this book for yourself - but don't lend it out - it won't come back.
