Why read it?
1 author picked I Ain't Studdin' Ya as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the biography of blues legend and multiple Grammy winner Bobby Rush. He grew up in Arkansas and was not an overnight success. Blues and R&B fans will appreciate the stories he tells about well-known musicians and life on the road.

From Phyllis' list on Books on musicians for those fascinated with musical history.
