5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Book, July 21, 2008
Even if you never read the text, which is also interesting, this is one of the most riveting books on the blues you'll ever see. The faces of the artists tell stories in ways that words could never express. Look into their eyes, and you can almost hear the blues music coming out of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unforgettable!, March 13, 2006
I purchased this book for a friend who is really into the blues. He absolutely loves it. It is sentimental to him for various reasons. It was the perfect gift. It makes for a great coffee table book.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must for blues addicts, July 9, 2004
By john orcopoulos (Thessaloniki, Greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
if you want to see the legends faces you must buy this book.
expensive? YES but it' s worth the $50
A lot of very goog portraits of legends with
a few words for each person.
Attention This book recomended only for blues lovers
NOT for ordinary people.
