Talking Music is a collection of nineteen of Holger Petersen's in-depth radio interviews with artists — the pioneering men and women who created the blues and roots sounds that have influenced the course of popular culture and music in North America. Many of his interview subjects are no longer with us — their stories need to be told.
The book is divided into four collections of interviews: British Blues Revival, Delta and Memphis Blues, Artists Who Helped Build Stony Plain, and Bonus Tracks.
Each interview is preceded by informative background material on the artist, Petersen's own stories of their meetings, and photographs.

By John P. McLaughlin
Now Petersen has a book out and if you're a music fan, it's a page-turner. With introductions from Petersen, these are the transcripts from 19 of the thousands of interviews he's conducted over the years. Halfway through the book, I started shaking my head at how tortuous it must have been for Petersen deciding on what to leave out.

Living Blues October 2011

Holger Petersen's self-described "kitchen table" record label serves as a reminder that the "little guys" can indeed make it when they put the music first. Forget any fanfare. Stony Plain's catalog speaks for itself.
