About this book

Experience music history with this memoir by one of the last of the genuine old school Blues and R & B legends. Emmett Ellis Jr. acquired his first real guitar, adopted the stage name "Bobby Rush" and started playing juke joints in Little Rock, Arkansas, as a teenager barely old enough to sneak through the door. He relocated to Chicago in the 1960s, and crafted his own distinct style of funky blues. And he hasn't stopped since. Here Rush shares eyewitness accounts of the legends of American music and culture, giving readers a backstage pass to a fascinating life in the music industry. -- adapted from jacket
