Summary

"Billy Boy Arnold, born in 1935, is one of the few native Chicagoans who both cultivated a career in the blues and stayed in Chicago. His perspective on Chicago's music, people, and places is rare and valuable. Arnold has worked with generations of musicians--from Tampa Red and Howlin' Wolf and to Muddy Waters and Paul Butterfield--on countless recordings, witnessing the decline of country blues, the dawn of electric blues, the onset of blues-inspired rock, and more. Here, with writer Kim Field, he gets it all down on paper--including the story of how he named Bo Diddley Bo Diddley"--, Provided by publisher
