Tampa Red should be mentioned in the same breath as blues legends like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, or B.B. King. For over 20 years, he was a leading figure in Chicago – the first to play a steel guitar, one of the first to use an electric guitar, a pioneering string virtuoso, and the author of over 300 song gems. He was a mentor to many later stars. However, Hudson Whittaker, his real name, lost his luster and health towards the end of his life and died alone like a forgotten man. To this day, no comprehensive book has been published about him, no film, nothing. Incomprehensible! With a literary trick, Swiss author and musician Richard Koechli attempts to turn the tide and give the forgotten king a fitting conclusion posthumously. Embedded in a fictional discussion with the young caregiver Anna and her music-obsessed friend Eric, he allows Hudson Whittaker to speak shortly before his death.
