Summary
  • "A forgotten singer from the early days of jazz is at the center of this narrative. For twenty years, Nick Tosches searched for facts about the life of Emmett Miller, a yodeling blackface performer whose songs prefigured jazz, country, blues, and much of the popular music of the twentieth century.".
  • "Beginning with a handful of 78-rpm records and ending at a tombstone in a Macon, Georgia, graveyard, Tosches pieces together a life - and illuminates the spirit of music-makers from Cab Calloway to Bob Dylan, from Homer to the Rolling Stones."--BOOK JACKET.
