We sat for hours in his room as he played DJ and hipped me to all things Chicago. I didn't know then, but he was setting me up for life.--Jimmy Vivino, guitarist and former leader of Conan O'Brien's house band, Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band If you love blues and Muddy Waters, you'll love reading this book as much as I have. I ain't lyin'!--Charlie Musselwhite, Grammy Award-winning blues harp player In Out of the Blue, self-styled 'itinerant blues musician' Brian Bisesi offers an insider's view of Muddy Waters, his musicians, and life on the road in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Mexico. Affiliated with Waters from 1978 into 1980--at times as road manager and guitarist--his privileged perspective permitted him to chronicle Waters and such sidemen as Luther 'Guitar Junior' Johnson, Calvin 'Fuzzy' Jones, and Pinetop Perkins. Cameos by Jeff Beck, Pattie Boyd, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, George Harrison, the Rolling Stones, and Big Joe Williams enhance the text. In sum, this well-written, perceptive, and compelling narrative is mandatory reading for anyone interested in Waters specifically and the blues generally.--Benjamin Franklin V, author of The Miraculous Art of Jazz: One Writer's Reviews I owe everything I know about the Blues to Brian.
