Chiddy Bang recommended The Man Who Recorded the World in Books (curated)

"The Man Who Recorded the World is a biography of Alan Lomax, who's the folklorist in the United States who was the first person to record people like Leadbelly and various other blues artists. He travelled around the South in the Forties with a wax cylinder machine to record these artists who no-one had ever recorded before. It's amazing to read as a producer and engineer, but also as someone who travels a lot and is exposed to a lot of different music. It's by John Szwed, who also did a biography of Miles Davis."

Who is HE?

I don't want to give anything away. This is a deeply moving portrait of one half of a comedy duo and one of the most heartbreaking accounts of an inner human landscape I have read.
