    About this ebook

    Don’t Start Me Talkin' is a comedic road novel about Brother Ben, the only remaining True Delta Bluesman, playing his final North American tour. Set in contemporary society, Brother Ben's protege Silent Sam Stamps narrates an episodic 'last ride,' laying bare America's complicated relationship with African American identity, music, and culture, and like his hero Sonny Boy Williamson once sang, Silent Sam promises "I'll tell everything I know."

    Don’t Start Me Talkin’ is not merely a story about the blues, but with its rhythm, language, and sense of self and place, it also channels the DNA of this very American style of music.

      This is a road trip book, and road trip books are about searching_in this case searching for identity. Two men, mentor and protege on the road as the last true Delta Bluesmen. Neither is what he seems to be and knowing this the protege must come to terms with himself and his mentor's lead. The outcome I leave for you to discover for yourself, but, I promise you the trip is worthwhile.
