Feel Like Going Home vividly brings to life such early blues masters as Muddy Waters , Skip James, and Howlin' Wolf, along with illuminating excursions into the blues-based rock 'n' roll of Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, and the Sun Records label. With unique insight and unparalleled access, celebrated author Peter Guralnick (Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley) dramatically depicts the people, the songs, and the performances that forever changed not only the American music scene but America itself.
With a brand-new introduction by David Keenan to cast new light on the book today, and published for the first time as part of White Rabbit's Deep Cuts series, Feel Like Going Home takes its place once again as a classic in the world of music literature.
