Stormy Monday: The T-Bone Walker Story

Stormy Monday, by Helen Oakley Dance, a longtime observer of the music scene, is the first biography of T-Bone Walker to be published. The relationships revealed here depict the black experience with realism and strength. Dozens of interviews conducted with Walker, as well as with members of his family, close friends, fellow musicians, and business associates, reflect sound research and reveal a notable commingling of passion, joy, defiance, hope, and Walker's determined commitment to musical and personal goals.
