Dust: More Lives of the Poets (with Guitars)

“Robertson offers the whole picture, warts and all. In doing so, he honors the music of artists who have enriched his life—and opens the door for his readers to experience the same magic.”—Blues Blast MagazineDust: More Lives of the Poets (with Guitars) is a collection of a dozen biographical and critical portraits of some of the twentieth century’s most innovative, influential, and fascinating musicians. From rock to folk, blues to gospel, country to the unclassifiable; from the famous, to the forgotten, to the barely known, Ray Robertson combines a novelist’s eye for dramatic detail with an unapologetic fanboy’s appreciation for and awe at the lives and lasting artistic achievements of twelve of his musical heroes, among them Alex Chilton, Duane Allman, Nick Drake, and Muddy Waters.
