Book Reviews of Deford Bailey: A Black Star in Early Country Music

Book Review: the Harmonica Wizard; DeFord Bailey
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is a must have for any country, blues and folk music fan. This book is important in more that one way. It tells you the story of a great man and you get to learn much about early country radio and music. The book also contains many pictures of the Harmonica Wizard, DeFord Bailey.

DeFord was the first artist to ever appear on the Grand Ole Opry. I also want to recomend the CD; The Legendary DeFord Bailey.

You can look forward to many great hours reading about his life and listening to his famous and unparallelled harmonica playing, banjo pickin and guitar playing

DeFord was truly a folk music genius

God Bless Him
