When I Left Home: My Story (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

Very interesting book about Chicago blues and such legendary blues icons as Buddy Guy, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Rice Miller, Howlin' Wolf, Son House, John Lee Hooker, Big Mama,Little Walter, and many others.It was especially interesting to read about his early relationship with Muddy Waters and his stormy relationship with Junior Wells. You can tell just from the way that Junior Wells played and acted during concerts that he could be ornery and the book confirms this, at least from Mr. Guy's perspective.If you are a blues fan, this should be an essential part of your reading diet.This was definitely a 'couldnotputitdown' book for me. Such a wonderful story of an awesome legend of a musician. I was surprised to find out Buddy Guy didn't really get "known" until later in life. I loved this up until the end. The final chapter seems like it was written hastily. Overall, such a good and easy read. If you are a musician or a fan of music, and want to find out about the other side of the story, you might want to check it out.
