A serious blues fan of the Mississippi Delta wouldn't dare leave home without it.--Northwest Arkansas Times Providing excellent maps and driving instructions. . . . Along the way Cheseborough provides details on the towns, homes, and gravesites of famous blues musicians, buildings where they played, radio stations, sites of music festivals, and current clubs and restaurants that feature the music. Essential.--Library Journal Sometimes you just know a book is going to cost you money. Delightfully so, when you've got a copy of Steve Cheseborough's Blues Traveling in hand. So perhaps it's time to revisit, and I'm going to let Blues Traveling be my guidebook and excuse to make a trip to these holy sites of Delta blues. Lots of fun, this one.--Victory Music Review This localized, detailed, and lively guidebook to blues music in Mississippi recommends following by car 'a rough circle beginning and ending in Memphis' for a comprehensive tour. With maps, specific directions, and succinct historical tidbits, Cheseborough describes blues venues as well as points of special interest. A recommended listening section completes the picture.--Publishers Weekly
