One
morning Bo Willie finds the doghouse empty and the gate wide open!
Farmer Fred says Yellow Dog hit Highway 61 and started running. Aunt
Jessie picks up Bo Willie in her pink Cadillac, and together they
look for his missing puppy love. Their search leads them from juke
joints to tamale stands to streets ringing with the music of B.B.
King and Muddy Waters. Where, where did that Yellow Dog go?

journey along the Mississippi Blues Trail. With swinging free verse
and stunning hand-stitched art, Yellow
Dog Blues is a soulful
fable about what happens when the blues grabs you and holds on tight.
