Description: You are bidding on a great book featuring the famous artist R. Crumb, titled “R. Crumb’s Heroes of Blues, Jazz & Country.” This is a hard back book, including a dust cover, as well as a “Bonus CD” of early American music compiled by R. Crumb. The book and CD are in great shape. The text is extremely well done, and the artwork is high quality, showing beautiful reproductions of the trading series Crumb previously produced featuring his Heroes of Blues, Jazz, and Country. This book is in excellent condition. It has not been read; we read an extra copy of the same book, so the one listed here is pristine. But wait; there’s more. The book comes with a 21 track CD containing music chosen by R. Crumb, featuring many of the artists featured in the book. This item has been stored at room temperature, in a smoke free home. Please see photos of actual item being sold. "Gorgeous. One of the music—and art—books of the year." (The Guardian) A characteristically idiosyncratic tribute by an underground icon to the musical innovators who helped inspire him, R. Crumb’s Heroes of Blues, Jazz & Country is a must-have collection for Crumb aficionados, comics fans, and music lovers alike. Anyone who knows R. Crumb’s work as an illustrator knows of his passion for music. And all those who collect his work prize the Heroes of the Blues, Early Jazz Greats, and Pioneers of Country Music trading card sets he created in the early to mid-1980s. Now they are packaged together for the first time in book form, along with an exclusive 21-track CD of music selected and compiled by Crumb (featuring original recordings by Charley Patton, “Dock” Boggs, “Jelly Roll” Morton, and others). A bio of each musician is provided, along with a full-color original illustration by the cartoonist. Includes an introduction by Terry Zwigoff, award-winning director of Crumb”.
