Immortalized a second time (the 1st time was his very existence) in a great REM song:

FINALLY BACK IN PRINT!
The 36 cards (on heavy card stock) are packaged in a very cool 3 x 4 x 1 inch gift box. Depicted are the legends of early blues history: Mississippi John Hurt, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Memphis Minnie, Charley Patton, Jaybird Coleman, Big Bill Broonzy, Barbecue Bob and many others. A bio of each musical artist by historian Stephen Calt is on the back. And each musician or group is lovingly drawn in full color by underground comix legend R. Crumb.
