From the Publisher
Rhino's Cruise Through the Blues features a foreword by B.B. King. Here is an excerpt:

"Blues is much more than the music. The blues has been a way of life, because it’s all about our feeling about the people, places, and things we’ve known. The blues started with the slaves and their disciples and led on in to me; now I’m one of the disciples. I find a lot of joy in it. I’ve played blues clubs from Japan to Russia, and I’ve seen a lot of young people in the audience. The young people are playing the blues today…it’s popular all over the world. There’s nothing like it."
