I received Elwood's Blues: Interviews with the Blues Legends & Stars by Dan Aykroyd and Ben Manilla as a gift from a colleague, Michael Blackwell. He found it at a YMCA book sale and thought I might enjoy it due to the class I am teaching about the Blues this semester.
I wasn't sure what the quality of the book was going to be, as its title was derived from a character from the Blues Brothers. However, the book has some really great interviews with some really important figures in the world of the Blues. These include: Luther Allison, Junior Wells, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, Little Milton, B. B. King, and more. The book also includes interview with icons from the world of rock who trace their path in music back to the Blues.
The interviews actually come from Elwood's House of Blues Radio Hour, but they highlight Aykroyd's deep understanding of appreciation for the Blues. While I was initially hesitant about this book, it turned out to be a great find.
