Blues: The British Connection: The Stones, Clapton, Fleetwood Mac and the Story of Blues in Britain

Former Fleetwood Mac member Brunning charts how London shows by US Bluesmen like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker—then forgotten at home—influenced a generation of British musicians from The Stones and The Animals to The Bluesbreakers and The Yardbirds. This led to huge Stateside 1970s success for blues-influenced British rock giants like Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin and a renaissance of the U.S. blues scene. “An engaging personal memoir.”—Charles Shaar Murray
