"That instrument he plays - when you hear it recorded correctly or live in a room, it has a tremendous comforting resonance and a hypnotic feeling. There are all sorts of tones coming from (the guitar) and it makes me feel really good when I hear it" - Iggy Pop. "The guy who really did it for me was Bukka White" - Robert Plant. This is the story of Booker's Guitar - the story of how an instrument belonging to one of the key figures in Delta blues music history, Bukka White, helped inspire the creation of an award winning, bestselling album in 2010 - "Booker's Guitar," by Eric Bibb. It is the story of two remarkable musicians from two very different eras, joined together in creative spirit and innate talent, as well as the physical connection of a shared instrument. But, more than anything, this is a story demonstrating how the power of music can unite people from all walks of life, forging deep friendships that cross generational, geographical and racial boundaries, while inspiring timeless artistry. Richly illustrated with classic images from the archive of photographer Keith Perry. Reviews for The Legend of Booker's Guitar: "Well written, thoroughly engaging and highly informative, this may not be a conventional biography of a major bluesman but it is certainly a hugely enjoyable one" - Red Lick Catalogue, July 2015; "Well documented ... a truly fascinating story" - R2 Magazine, June 2015; "Enlightening story of a great guitarist's great guitar" - Record Collector, April 2015; "Brisk, well-written ... professionally assembled and presented, thoroughly annotated and referenced - better than many I've seen from major publishers" - Blues & Rhythm, April 2015
