The Bluesmen: The Story and the Music of the Men Who Made the Blues by Samuel Charters

"I don't know that I'll ever get tired of reading about Charley Patton, Son House, Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and the Mississippi Sheikhs. This book also has an impressive set of chapters about Blues and roots-music musicians in Alabama and Texas, and the Texas chapter shines in particular with its portraits of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Henry Thomas, and especially Texas Alexander, whose influence on Lightnin' Hopkins started a line that ran to Stevie Ray Vaughan." - Mike, GoodReads
