About this listen

How does a white kid from the New York suburbs, harmonica in hand, end up earning himself a busker's spot on the Harlem sidewalks next to Mr. Satan, a Mississippi-born legend? How did an interracial blues duo fare on the streets of New York during a turbulent, fractious time marked by racially-motivated murders in Howard Beach, Bensonhurst, and Crown Heights? And how did that unlikely pair, as "Satan and Adam", conquer the American blues world, beginning with a cameo appearance in U2's Rattle and Hum (1988) and continuing through their W. C. Handy Award-nominated 1991 debut, Harlem Blues?

Adam Gussow narrates his own book superbly. if you love blues then listen to this. His description of the music is that of a man who clearly loves the form and knows it intimately. in turns funny, poignant and uplifting.

Fantastic listen

Adam Gussow, what a man. For anyone who has any interest in the Blues, this is a must, emotional and full of feeling. Such a great Harmonica player too. Thank you

Wonderful

I really enjoyed listening to this book on my way to work, i feel a bit bereft now, I will miss the feeling of hanging out with Adam and Mr Satan each day. Looking forward to listening to their albums.

A wonderful book, highly recommended
