Summary
Most of the outstanding portraits of blues musicians collected here are the work of a gifted amateur. "Amateur" comes from the French for "lover," and Steve LaVere's love for the music and its performers shines through in his photographs. Not all images in this book were taken by LaVere: some come from his large and diverse collection of portraits, candids, and newspaper photographs. Subjects include Bukka White, Taj Mahal, Beale Street in ruins, Gus Cannon (of Cannon's Jug Stompers), Fred McDowell, and Little Laura Dukes aboard the Memphis Queen
