Reviews
"[Calt] writes with a knowledge and intelligence that make even his most extreme statements interesting . . . His greatest virtue is his insistence on painting James as a real, albeit infuriating, person ." —Boston Globe"An extraordinary work devoted to blues, and more specifically, to one of the true enigmas of country blues." —Lawrence Cohn, editor, Nothing But the Blues
"Entertaining and on the mark . . . Calt’s narrative is always interesting and often spellbinding . . . Fascinating reading." —Acoustic Guitar
