Blues in Their Veins: The Cry of the Six-String

Blues in Their Veins is a powerful collection of biographies chronicling the lives of blues guitar legends who didn’t just play music – they poured their blood, heartbreak, and history into every note. These are the stories of artists who forged the blues out of fire, sweat, and a whole lot of soul.

From dusty Delta crossroads to the electric nights of Chicago clubs, this collection brings you face-to-face with the pioneers who shaped a genre – and left fingerprints on the strings of every guitarist who came after. You’ll meet mythic figures like Robert Johnson, whose life was as shadowy as his licks were sharp; B.B. King, who made Lucille sing; and trailblazers like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, who turned raw pain into rhythm.

These aren’t just music bios – they’re vivid portraits of grit and genius. Each chapter dives into the personal demons, musical breakthroughs, and cultural impact of artists whose legacies stretch far beyond their lifetimes. Expect wild stories, tragic turns, and guitar work that practically melts off the page.
