About this title

Review

I know of no other Canadian who is such an enthusiastic authority on blues than Holger Petersen... For him to put some of his past chats into book form is a must for all music fans to read.--RANDY BACHMAN

Holger asks the right questions, listens hard to the answers, then thinks up even better questions. Often, he gets answers a civilian might not have been given. His first book is a treasure-chest bursting with swag, a priceless opportunity to be a fly on the wall for some of the most authoritative, revelatory, and purely entertaining discussions of the nature and history of music that have ever occurred.--SPIDER ROBINSON, author of Very Hard Choices
