Book Reviews
Deacon Jones, a San Francisco
transplant, has become internationally known as a master of the Hammond B3
organ.
He relates his experiences in
first person in his book,“40 Years With The Blues
Legends” which has just come out. He tells about his three years with
Freddy King, his eighteen years as band leader with blues legend, John Lee
Hooker and a myriad of other musicians that he’s performed with. He talks about
his personal life and says it like it was.
The book is very readable, intimate,
informative, and enjoyable. It has a very pleasant format and is just the right
size to hold easily. There are pictures from many parts of Deacon’ s life. It
even has an attached ribbon for a book marker. This well-done book from Deacon
Jones is definitely worth checking out and merits a gold star!
