“He was one of the most celebrated blues artists of his era, a visionary Chicago singer-songwriter who mentored Muddy Waters, introduced the music to Europe and inspired no less than Eric Clapton, Ray Davies and Pete Townshend (as they've all acknowledged). But Big Bill Broonzy has been virtually forgotten by the popular culture he helped shape. &ellip; Which is why an important new book, I Feel So Good: The Life and Times of Big Bill Broonzy, comes not a moment too soon.”—Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
