Experience a groovy splash of music history from the Bayou State!

This intensely personal and entertaining account is a snapshot of Blues from an intruder welcomed into the interior circles of Southern Blues icons. Englishman Julian C. Piper spent a year out of the country at Louisiana State University and played blues primarily on the Blues Box in Baton Rouge. There he met among the musicians with whom he conducted interviews between 1987 and 1988. The ones interviews form the root of this book. Via his close friendship with Blues Box owner Tabby Thomas and his son Chris, Piper collected stories of blues luminaries including Silas Hogan, Robert Pete Williams, Huddie “Leadbelly” Ledbetter, Lonesome Sundown, Chris Thomas King, Lightening Slim, and lots of more.
