David 'Honeyboy' Edwards dies at 96; Chicago bluesman

David "Honeyboy" Edwards, considered the last of the original Delta bluesmen, has died. When the library reopens next week, you can explore his legacy by checking out his autobiography The World Don't Owe Me Nothing: The Life and Times of Delta Bluesman Honeyboy Edwards (ML420.E28 W6) which the Chicago Tribune's Howard Reich called "a memoir that has become a landmark of American musical history" in his obituary.
