Original. AnnotationAn authoritative and entertaining survey of a generous cross-section of guitar players who found fame in what is loosely termed the blues' postwar period, ROLLIN' AND TUMBLIN' gathers interviews with towering giants of the genre as well as lesser-known but no less influential talents. Blues masters like Elmore James, T-Bone Walker, Hubert Sumlin, and Buddy Guy evoke their early years and reveal their technical secrets, while relatively unsung performers like Jody Williams, who played on many classic Chess sessions and with a variety of blues legends, and Saunders King, once known as "King of the Blues" and still much admired by his namesake, B.B. King, recall the golden years of Chicago and Texas blues. Jas Obrecht's foreword is a masterly history of the music and its growth and influence on generations of musicians from the 1960s on. The interviews, conducted by a variety of writers, offer fascinating insights into both the musicians' own influences and their varied careers, from the down-home origins of Muddy Waters to the sophisticated stylings of Saunders King. Perceptive and sometimes revelatory, these conversations are a window into the lives of a fast-vanishing generation of blues craftsmen.
