Jason Akley is an extremely engaging writer who knows how to keep a reader's attention and reward them with a great story.The book follows the life and career of Blues singer David Threnody and spans 33 chapters and three different books within this book. Do not let the numbers daunt you because you'll never feel like you've undertaken too much. The story is wonderful and reading is never a burden.What I love most about this book and this insight into the life is a musician is that their lives are no different than ours. We often hold people with great talent above others and we seek to unravel and solve the mystery of their charmed existence when the fact is simply that musicians are people just like us who have struggles, overcome adversity, and fight to use their gifts.Akley has done a great job in this story and I've really learned a lot about the Blues!  I may look for more reads like this.
