Hardly any book tells more about the history of Chicago Blues. Hardly any biography reveals more anecdotes and secrets of the Blues. Tampa Red (ca. 1903 - 1981) should be mentioned in the same breath with legends like Robert Johnson Muddy Waters or B.B. King. For more than 20 years Tampa Red set the tone in Chicago the first with a brass guitar one of the first with an electric guitar pioneering slide virtuoso author of more than 300 song pearls mentor of many later stars. But Hudson Whittaker as his real name was lost glory and health towards the end of his life died lonely as a forgotten man. To this day no comprehensive book has been published no film nothing. Unbelievable! Now finally this great gap in blues literature is filled. The award-winning Swiss book author and blues musician Richard Koechli traces Tampa Red's life sensitively and historically precisely and prepares a worthy end for him with the help of a literary trick. Embedded in a fictional conversation with the young nursing assistant Anna and her music-obsessed friend Eric Koechli lets Hudson Whittaker tell his own story right before his death: About life in Chicago about love about his music and his songs about famous and less famous colleagues about grief despair about the fear of dying - and finally about the happiness of reconciliation with his own history. Thrilling like a thriller touching like a drama clarifying like a history book raves the online magazine bluesnews.ch. With this book Koechli makes public an important and hitherto hardly noticed chapter in music history for Blues fans a bubbling source of knowledge with plenty of aha moments. Finally an English translation of the original German edition published in 2017 is now available optionally as hardcover softcover e-book and large print book.
