"Maybe the best book I've ever read concerning music or any music personality." -- Blues Notes
"Indispensable." -- The Times (London)
"Noted blues scholars...paint a picture of Walter as a fiery, independent soul." -- --Library Journal
"The story of this ultimately deeply-troubled genius progenitor of contemporary blues harmonica is unfolded in an enthralling manner by a triumverate of authors notably well-qualified for the task." -- Juke Blues
"This is undoubtably the book that Walter's status merits and is recommended unreservedly." -- Juke Blues
"Given his standing in the world of blues, it's amazing that it has taken so long for an in-depth book on Marion Walter Jacobs to appear, but be in no doubt that the wait has been well worth it. Reading like a novel, but one which even Walter Mosley might have struggled to plot with credibility, the story of the ultimately deeply-troubled genius progenitor of contemporary blues harmonica is unfolded in an enthralling manner by a triumvirate of authors notably well-qualified for the task." -- Bill Moodie, Juke Blues (UK)
