Publisher's Summary

Narrated by author Vincent Abbate and featuring the music and voice of multiple Blues Music Award-winner Doug MacLeod, Who Is Blues Volume 1 tells the story of how MacLeod overcame an abusive childhood to become a celebrated singer, songwriter and master of the blues guitar. The book traces the highs and lows of his six decades in music. From St. Louis to the coffeehouses of hippie-era Norfolk. From the backwoods of Toano, Virginia to the rough-and-tumble blues clubs of 1970s Los Angeles. From MacLeod's electric LPs of the 1980s to the 2018 Acoustic Album of the Year Break The Chain. His inspirational story is one of triumph, forgiveness, friendship and the great and mystical healing power of the blues.

This audiobook version of the compact authorized biography originally published in 2018 includes never-before-heard musical recordings by MacLeod and a series of anecdotes told by MacLeod in his own words.
