The Autobiography of BB King.
From the rural poverty of the Mississippi Delta to his celebrated position as the world's leading blues musician, BB King has led a remarkable life. Now, in this riveting autobiography, the fabled blues guitarist tells his unforgettable story with unflinching candour and sincerity.
A deeply sensuous soul, he discloses his complex relationship with women and sexuality, and chronicles his first-hand experience of racism, the Civil Rights movement, and the shifting politics of show business. But most of all, 'Blues All Around Me' is about the music, the soulful sound of a brilliant guitarist/singer narrating the evolution of blues from country acoustic to urban electric; the birth and explosion of rock 'n' roll; and BB's own long suffering but triumphant struggle for crossover success - in which he remained unwaveringly true to the music of his heart.
Includes 16 pages of black and white photographs.
