Al Young, Poet Laureate of California, has a new book called " Something About the Blues: an unlikely collection of poetry." The 120 poems talk about love, Hollywood, music, Paris and much more in a very bluesy way. The bonus is an accompanying CD that has Mr. Young reading 20 of the poems, some backed by a blues band. You'll want to hear this interview as Mr. Young reads two poems not included on the CD. His voice is amazingly lush.
