Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Blind Willie McTell was one of the most gifted musicians of the pre-war period, and a great inspiration for Bob Dylan. Yet he never achieved stardom, and only recently has his talent been recognised. Gray goes in search of the elusive musician, travelling to the American South and revealing his tragic story. 'A wonderful book about a spellbinding musician... his understanding of the strange, contradictory forces that made McTell's music so beguiling is deep' Will Hodgkinson, "Guardian"

Publisher's description:
