Sam Myers: The Blues Is My Story recounts the life of bluesman Sam Myers (1936-2006), as told in his own words to author Jeff Horton. Myers grew up visually handicapped in the Jim Crow South and left home to attend the state school for the blind at Piney Woods. Myers's intense desire to become a musician and a scholarship from the American Conservatory School of Music called him to Chicago. There in 1952 he joined Elmore James's band as a drummer and was featured on some of James's best-known recordings. Following the elder bluesman's death in 1963, Myers fronted bands of his own and recorded many well-received singles and albums. In 1986, Myers became the W. C. Handy Award-winning front man, vocalist, and harmonica player for Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets. Throughout the book, Myers provides a historical context to a bygone era of the blues and reveals his own thoughts and feelings about the musicians with whom he played. And they are a list of who's who in the blues-Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Hound Dog Taylor, and Robert Lockwood Junior in addition to Elmore James. In one chapter, Myers describes a personalized deeper meaning to the blues. And in another he relates a series of anecdotes about the lighter side of life on the road. Contributions from Myers's father and stories from a boyhood friend round out the narrative. Dallas musician Brian “Hash Brown” Calway dissects the more technical aspects of Myers's harmonica style. Long-time friend and bandmate, Anson Funderburgh, weighs in with a chapter about their songwriting methods and offers some of his own recollections on their twenty years together.

Sam and Myrna Myers are two Americans who fell in love with Paris in the mid-60s and decided to move there. Over five decades they amassed more than 5000 works of art, offering a very personal vision of the world of Asian art, coherent and well documented. Four principal areas are revealed. The first is an impressive series of archaic jades, followed by significant Buddhist works from Asia, then a remarkable collection of blue and white porcelain, and finally an ensemble of costumes from Central Asia to Japan. These four groups constitute the natural breakdown of this book: Radiant Stones - Icons and Textiles - An Ocean of Porcelain - Costumes and Customs. This collection brings together beautiful objects made of seductive and noble materials: jade, silk and porcelain, the essential materials of Asian art.

Blues tradition has been central to the conceptual approach of vocalist/guitarist Chris James and bassist Patrick Rynn ever since they joined forces in Chicago in 1990. They played with the likes of Junior Wells , Detroit Junior, and Dave Myers, and spent five years together in Sam Lay's blues band. They've backed up a who's who of iconic Chicago Bluesmen and been hailed for their own recordings. But they've never stripped their sound down on disc quite the way they do on Trouble Don't Last.
