“Meticulously researched and rendered with passion, intelligence and fairness, Lydon has cooked up a feast of facts. I devoured it in two days.”
David Ritz, co author of Brother Ray

“Brother Ray and I now tour the world, but in the fifties we worked our way up through the southern chitlin circuit. This book gets down to the nitty-gritty of those days, the smoke, the sweat, and the music”
BB King

“Thoughtful and comprehensive…the book is remarkably candid, presenting Charles` s warts unblinkingly.”
The Washington Post
