I Say Me for a Parable: The Oral Autobiography of Mance Lipscomb, Texas Bluesman
“[A] life that’s one of the great American stoires. Lipscomb (1895-1976) knew how to tell a tale, and had incredible tales to tell. . . . [G]ratitude is owed Alyn for preserving Lipscomb’s remarkable story.” —Kirkus Reviews Lipscomb (1895-1976), the son of a slave, lived almost his whole life in Navasota, Texas, supporting his family by tenant farming cotton. Here Mance relates the hard times working for the bossman and good times playing the blues all over his patch of Texas—and eventually the world.
