Journeyman's Road: Modern Blues Lives from Faulkner's Mississippi to Post-9/11 New York

Add Journeyman's Road: Modern Blues Lives from Faulkner's Mississippi to Post-9/11 New York, Adam Gussow has lived the Blues life. By some miracle he has also lived to write about it. Whether his subject is a novel by Faulkner or the romance of buying an amp, his prose is as dynamic as a guitar solo by Stevie Ray Vaughan. —Krin Gabbard, Author, Journeyman's Road: Modern Blues Lives from Faulkner's Mississippi to Post-9/11 New York to the inventory that you are selling on WonderClubX
