Hi, can anyone help me? I am seeking a book related to recent recordings by Nick Cave. Subject described as "the folk poetry of Black Hustlers" and "a book on Negro American toasts" with a violent recitation of "Stagger Lee" by "a black hustler from New York called Big Stick".

This ribald version was set to new music by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. A version of the traditional song "Henry Lee" and the childrens song "King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Mi-O" were also recorded, and the lyrics may be derived from the same book. Thanks in advance for your advice. Kim Beissel, Melbourne, Australia
