“…I don’t know how one might go about writing an historical piece on blues musicians without dealing directly with the issue of race in America at the time. You can give ten intelligent, rational people access to the same one hundred books on a given topic and every one of them will develop a different picture of what that thing is. I took a hard, long look at the lives of blues musicians and the audiences they serviced from the period and this is what I saw. I make no claims to its veracity. It’s fiction.”
