Synopsis :

Book by King B B Ritz David

Revue de presse:

“Charming...honest...transcendent...an eloquent autobiography...It reads like a warm and lengthy conversation with a closefriend. Aficionados of the blues will find plenty to pique their interest, but the book truly shines because of the portrait itpaints of a man who has made kindness and respect a lifelong philosophy.” (Billboard)

“B.B. King is the preeminent living practioner of the blues...Blues All Around Me is a treasure trove of informatino...told with real feeling” (Washinton Post Book World)

“An excellent musical life...dotted with encounters from everyone from Sonny Boy Williamson and Miles Davis to Stevie Ray Vaughn” (Philadelphia Inquirer)

“Candid...heartbreaking...deceptively and disarmingly casual and controversial...King’s book is as self-questioningly honest as any blues song.” (Houston Chronicle)

“B.B.’s life and 50-year career is a precious piece of American history that no one could have told better—except maybe Lucille.” (Vibe)

“An amazing success story...an eminently entertaining tale of a true American hero.” (Austin American-Statesman)

“For almost 50 years, King has let his guitar, Lucille, do the talking. Now the celebrated bluesman tells his own gutsy story.” (Buzz)

“A classy book from a classy man...straightforward, frank, unaffected, and breezy, with many funny, insightful stories and anecdotes.” (Seattle Times)

“King tells his very American success story with the lyricism and leisurely pace of a born storyteller...with warmth and sincerity.” (Rolling Stone)

“This is one of the best recent pop-music bios. King speaks straight from the soul, it seems, just like he plays guitar.” (Booklist)

“Excellent...provocative...King comes off in print not unlike he does in his music: warm and polite, down gome and sophisticated, expressive and tasteful.” (Orlando Sentinel)

“The thrill is never gone.” (USA Today)
