Book Reviews of R. Crumb's Heroes of Blues, Jazz, & Country
Book Review: Musically marvellous
Summary: 4 Stars
Robert Crumb is rightly regarded as the progenitor of "underground comix". His influence can be discerned in most of the so-called alternative comics on the market, and his artistic style and unique take on the absurdity of American life and life in general was and probably still is ground-breaking. Here, collected for the first time, are the widely sought-after trading cards, his heroes of blues, jazz and country music, which he illustrated and published in the 80s as a tribute, suitably idiosyncratic, of the music he has always loved. With thumbnail biographies of the featured artists and an amazing bonus CD of 21 tracks compiled by Crumb himself, this is another fine addition to his growing publishing credits, and a great gift for the music lover in your life.
