- Synopsis
- Celebrating the "Year of the Blues"--as 2003 has been designated by the U.S. Congress--Back Bay Books takes pleasure in issuing a new paperback edition of the ultimate novel of the blues. Peter Guralnick's touching and vivid portrait of the legendary bluesman he calls the Screamin' Nighthawk draws us into an extraordinary life, taking us from the Hawk's humble beginnings in Yula, Mississippi; through road trips, love affairs, and barroom brawls; through memorable performances at honky-tonks, in recording studios, and on festival stages throughout the country; to the pinnacle of international celebrity and then back again to compulsive, inspired, down-home music-making. NIGHTHAWK BLUES offers a rare, unvarnished, and utterly compelling look at a life in music.
