Inhaltsangabe

Blues Piano Player and Singer, Stubby Knuckles, chronicles the highlights of his blues musicianship that spans over half-a-century. There is a blues CD that comes with the book, featuring the Knuckleman during his time with Lovey Lee's Blues Revue. Almost Slim, Jr. helps Stubby to nail down the defining textures of his bluesology by focusing on the organized confusion and the totality of his blues lifeway. It is a memoir steeped in the biographical sensibility of being and becoming, of action, experience, and (often) learning lessons the hard way. It's a testament to a life lived on one man's own terms, despite suffering a self-imposed exile from those who misconstrue him and his seeming shamble-of-a-life. Accordingly, we are drawn to witness the lies and falsities of the conventional narratives of this difficult age. Stub offers up his scruffy life on a platter for any who wish to meander, to poke around in its more meaningful moments, punctuated as they are by some incredibly talented hall-of-famer, bluesmen influencers of our common age.
