Winner of the Best Book of the Year awarded by Blues411 Radio Music mogul Daniel Erickson's life has come to a perilous crossroads. Literally. He has a ruthless pair of killers on his tail and is chasing a million dollars that he owes a Russian mobster. Standing along the same Mississippi highway where legend claims that bluesman Robert Johnson traded his immortal soul for matchless command of the guitar, Daniel finds himself on a path that parallels the evolution of American music from the Mississippi Delta to New Orleans and on to Memphis, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore, New York, and Seattle. At every stop, Daniel's tour gets more dangerous with the hit men closing in, an FBI agent obsessed with his capture, and a rogue motorcycle gang hunting him down. Blues Highway Blues, Eyre Price's debut novel, is a compelling and unique combination: part edge-of-your-seat road trip across America and part examination of the music that comprises its soundtrack.
Eyre Price has travelled the Blues Highway, from Bob Dylan's boyhood Minnesota home all the way to Professor Longhair's shrine in New Orleans. With his son by his side, he's made pilgrimages to Graceland, Sun Studios, Stax, and Chess Records. He's stood at the crossroads where legend says Robert Johnson sold his soul, and he's walked the alley between the Ryman and Hank William's favorite honky tonk. The result is Blues Highway Blues, a novel reflecting his passion for American music, from the Delta's blues to Seattle's grunge. Eyre and his wife, Jaime, live in central Illinois (for now), where they are raising their son to have a wandering heart and a musical ear.
