And thanks for the review, Jason. I linked it up on my blog, joenickp.blogspot.com
I suppose I still felt at the end that I wish I knew more about where inside the man the songs come from; and for all the obvious selflessness of the man you portray, there was also something in the portrayal that left me feeling like Willie's pursuit of the road and his muse could also be seen as the simple pursuit of personal pleasure at a fairly high emotional cost to his wives and children. Maybe that's more of a criticism of the man than the book. But what do I know, I only know the man through the music and, now, your excellent book.
What about Armstrong? Armstrong was a prime mover, an original, he has no peers. Even artists as great as Willie and Ray are standing on Armstrong's shoulders.
