Long Overdue look
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Okay, I'm a bit prejudiced since I was born in Spartanburg, SC myself, but this book does shed light on a small city that produced a lot of great music. The in-depth look on Pink Anderson, the bluesman Pink Floyd and Johnny Cash have cited as an influence, was well handled along twith the story of his son Alvin (who I know quite well). So put on your B-B- b-lack slacks and enjoy this look at an overlooked center of jazz, gospel, rock, and r & b music.
