Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, 1st printing. Bright clean & tight copy, gently used & unread, in FINE+ condition. "100 Portraits & Bios! Introduction by Ed Leimbacher. [] Robert Johnson, Ma Rainey, Billie Holiday, Howlin' Wolf, Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters--say their names out loud and you can almost hear the blues. Now, acclaimed artist William Stout visualizes these legendary musicians with 100 stunning portraits in this graphically powerful collection. Each profile captures the signature style of the artists, and adds authoritative biographical text with personal and humorous writing, bringing it on home for die-hard fans and those fortunate enough to be discovering the artistry of these blues legends for the first time." [publisher copy] "For decades, fans have unsuccessfully importuned R. Crumb to expand his card-set, Heroes of the Blues. In his stead, mainstream comics artist and blues fan Stout has leaped into the breach. A book proved more feasible than cards, though, and here are the first results of Stout's labors. The drawings, stylistically modeled on Crumb's, are unimpeachable, the faces based on photographs while the backdrops refer, when possible, to the subjects legends. So, for instance, Friday 13 looms behind guitarist-singer Albert King, conjuring his hit, Born Under a Bad Sign. A biographical sketch faces each portrait and includes Stout's choices of Recommended Tracks and Interesting Covers, and more often than not a bit of Trivia is appended. Stout reprises only two of Crumb's subjects (Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson) and features the electric bluesmen Crumb deliberately excluded, such as Howlin' Wolf and T-Bone Walker, and musical-genre-straddlers like Chuck Berry and Dinah Washington. Nice stuff."--Ray Olson, Booklist. "William Stout's LEGENDS OF THE BLUES celebrates the glorious men and women who created the enduring legacy and the unique sound of the blues. Bill's wonderful ink and watercolor paintings of legendary blues musicians beautifully capture the distinct personalities of these amazing and important American artists. Stout's portraits give us the performance craziness of Screaming' Jay Hawkins, the haunted gaze of Robert Johnson, the power of Howlin' Wolf, and the sly grin of a young Bo Diddley."--John Landis, The Blues Brothers. Pristine & handy hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding. 14-track 41-minute CD features among others Big Joe Williams & Mississippi Fred McDowell. Quite presentable.
