Publisher's Synopsis
Blues--what you mean to me? Are you my pain and misery, or my sweet, sweet company? The opening verse of this father-son collaboration asks the question that forms the thread throughout this amazing journey as words, art, and music explore the timeline of the blues--through slavery, poverty, lynching, love spurned, fear of dying and more. Call-and-response verse combines with memorable collage images in a compelling evocation of the blues experience.
