No Depression, 2/22
“This is a ridiculously good book of music writing—though, that’s an injustice, it’s a book about soul, and life, and America as much or more as it is about ‘just’ music.”

He has been a karate teacher, a state welfare worker, a Pinkerton operative, and a writign teacher in a school for poor black children.
