Book Review: very intersting book
Summary: 4 Stars

I think in the study of BB KING icon it is a fundamental book with the interviews and also go deep to the roots of his music,the man and the history of blues in general.
With more photos during his career from the original radio spot Pepticon to the last live stages it could be more intersting to ready.
