The Legend of Booker's Guitar: the Story of Bukka White, Eric Bibb and Hard Rock Peter Daniels

""The Legend of Booker's Guitar"" chronicles the incredible story of Delta blues singer Booker White (aka Bukka White) and his iconic National steel guitar, 'Hard Rock.' For the first time, the life and career of Booker White is explored in depth, revealing how White overcame poverty, imprisonment and obscurity to ultimately achieve success and worldwide acclaim as a genuine blues legend. Behind the scenes, White's friendship with a young photographer in the UK has far-reaching consequences, ultimately leading to the creation of a best-selling album, ""Booker's Guitar,"" by modern day blues hero Eric Bibb in 2010. Lavishly illustrated with dozens of rare, previously unpublished photographs, ""The Legend of Booker's Guitar"" ultimately pays tribute to two remarkable musicians from contrasting eras, joined together in creative spirit and innate talent, as well as the physical connection of a single, shared instrument.
