Su questo libro

Recensione:

“He was one of a kind. Nobody I heard before him or after him has had that fantastic delivery–that certain something in his voice that seemed like a sword that’d pierce your soul when he’d sing. Wolf was already a great singer and musician when I first met him. To my mind, he’s one of the greatest ever. We’ll never see another like him.”
–From the introduction by B. B. King

“Talk about best-kept secrets! There are no rumors in this book–not a one. It says everything there is to say about the Wolf. I’ve been looking for this one for a long, long time.”
–Taj Mahal

"Things folks have done in the dark are going to come out in the light. Nobody else has ever dug up what these guys have found–and it’s right.”
–Hubert Sumlin
