  Born on the Delta plantations over 100 years ago, Coley Williams grows up with voodoo spirits singing all night long. He travels the railroads with his guitar on his back; here's when Robert Johnson's pact with the Devil catches up with him in a jar of whiskey poison. He sees Blind Lemon Jefferson playing his own peculiar game of blind man's buff in a Texas cathouse, he drinks with Howling Wolf and Muddy Waters in Chicago, and Elvis in Memphis. He even makes it to London, where he hangs out with a couple of skinny litle English boys called Mick and Keith. This novel is a heartfelt tribute to the people and places of the Blues.
