Last Sunday, June 17, the Observer Music Monthly ran a small round-up item on the book, as follows:
“Hand Me My Travelin’ Shoes - By Michael Gray (Bloomsbury) £25 ‘Nobody can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell,’ sang Bob Dylan. Part biography/part travelogue, this is a fascinating exploration of the life of the Georgia bluesman from the great Dylanologist.”

Hi there, I'm looking forward to your book. I just had a quick question. Do you know if there's any film footage of Blind Willie McTell that exists? I've been scouring Youtube but haven't found any . . .
Hi J - no footage exists of Blind Willie McTell, so far as is known: and I think if it did exist, we'd know by now.
But then, there are so many tantalising aspects like this to his life and legacy...
The description of this DVD says there's footage. I'll be damned if I'm paying 50 bucks for it, but I'd also like to see that
