Just finished the Michael Gray book. I think it is fair to say that it is more about Gray's search than it is about McTell's life. Information on McTell is hard to find but Gray has tried to track down as much as he can.

I did notice that the hardback and paperback have different covers. I have the paperback and in that he refers to photo on the cover (the hardback copy). The photo in question was taken in the hotel room of John and Ruby Lomax, when they were recording him for the Library of Congress in 1940. Makes you wonder why they changed the cover.

I did enjoy the book.
