Anyone who knows R. Crumb’s work as an illustrator knows of
his passion for music. And all those who collect his work
prize the Heroes of the Blues, Early Jazz Greats, and
Pioneers of Country Music trading card sets he created in
the early to- mid-1980s. Now they are packaged together for
the first time in book form, along with an exclusive
21-track CD of music selected and compiled by Crumb himself
(featuring original recordings by Charley Patton, “Dock”
Boggs, “Jelly Roll” Morton, and others). A bio of each
musician is provided, along with a full-color original
illustration by the cartoonist. A characteristically
idiosyncratic tribute by an underground icon to the musical
innovators who helped inspire him, R. Crumb’s Heroes of
Blues, Jazz & Country is a must-have collection for Crumb
aficionados, comics fans, and music lovers alike.
