By David McGee (Backbeat Books).
"Never have I read any book on a musician's body of work that was so complete."
Southland Blues, September 2005
“…. an impressive deconstruction of every piece of music the guitarist, songwriter and singer ever committed to record…. McGee is a fan with an intuitive understanding of the power of vivid detail, turns of phrase, subtle or hidden meanings, and the social, political and cultural context in which King the artist operates. He's produced a terrific read.”
The TorontoStar, Canada Nov/27/05.
"Paints a colorful portrait of the blues giant."
"Required Reading" New York Post
“It truly is an important work and a must for BB fans.”
Holger Peterson, CBC “Saturday Night Blues” Canada
“‘There Is Always One More Time’ is the first volume of Lives in Music, a new series of books from Backbeat that seeks to produce volumes that mesh biography with discography. If this one is an example of what is to follow, then they’re on a winner…the book is a well-written, occasionally fascinating and critically important document for anyone interested in King’s work or in the plethora of absorbing facts that accompany his life. …this is a valuable contribution to blues literature.”
Blues & Rhythm Magazine, September 2005 UK
“He props up the new information qith his own indepth commentary on King’s albums, and his critical appraisal is nearly always on the mark.”
Blues Revue, December 2005

Arthur Shuey, Syndicated Columnist
“David McGee.. has written one of the most complete volumes one would ever hope to find on an artist… (it) will be a well thumbed edition in any music library, settle many bets and provide a goldmine of blues bits.”
