"If you read only one book about blues...read this one." - Starred Booklist on Escaping the Delta"Elijah Wald overturns [the] myths and puts Johnson's music into a broader, often surprising context. . . Thanks to his examination and research, a new picture of Johnson emerges." - Wall Street Journal"Wald's is a story of race, to be sure, of black musicians, primarily, and black and white audiences...Full of insight and intelligence." - Susan Larson, New Orleans Times-Picayune on Escaping the Delta
