Drawing on his extensive research and first-hand experience with these guitar pioneers, James tells the stories behind the songs, too. Features authentic arrangements in notes & TAB, vocal melodies and lyrics, historic photos, and more. Songs: Take Me Back - Sugar Babe - Milwaukee Blues - Sebastopol- John Henry - more!
