Doc Watson: A Life in Music by Eddie Huffman
“A vivd portrait . . . The combination of meticulous research and fluent writing makes this title important for anyone interested in Doc Watson or the evolution of old-time, traditional, and folk music over the past 90 years.”—Library Journal
“I’ve always thought of Doc as the patron saint of the mountains. His life, like his music, was clear as mountain water. Eddie Huffman has done a beautiful job of bringing this story to life. This book also serves as a reminder that Doc Watson not only was one of the greatest guitar players who ever walked the planet but also will undoubtedly be revered as an inspirational figure for the ages.”—Marty Stuart, award-winning country and bluegrass musician
With Faith in God and Heart and Mind: A History of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity by Maurice J. Hobson, Eddie R. Cole, Jim C. Harper, Derrick P. Alridge
“This well-researched and engaging Omega history is long overdue. I learned so much from reading it—there is no higher compliment from one who has lived much of this history.”—Congressman James E. Clyburn, member of Omega Psi Phi
“Far more than an institutional study, these pages bring to life the unrelenting pursuit of Black higher education and more than a century of commitment to full racial equality in America through the bond of brotherhood shared by all Omega men.”—Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, Harvard University
