Ernie K-Doe: The R&B Emperor of New Orleans receives outstanding reviews

“I’m here and I’m back!” Ernie K-Doe has been sweeping the nation once again! Check out just a sampling of the coverage The Collection’s newly released Ernie K-Doe: The R&B Emperor of New Orleans has received so far.

Check out Rolling Stone’s June 21 print issue for a 4-star review of K-Doe!

Both USA Today and the Los Angeles Times raved about the book and K-Doe’s indomitable spirit, and the New York Post and The Day in Connecticut mentioned it in their recommended reading columns.

The book received a starred review in Kirkus Reviews, the authoritative voice in book discovery for almost 80 years and a staple among readers, reviewers, and book industry professionals.

Baton Rouge’s Country Roads bowed down to the Emperor, as did New Orleans’s own Times-Picayune and Louisiana Weekly.

You can watch author Ben Sandmel talk about K-Doe on WWL, accompanied by some classic K-Doe video, or listen to K-Doe hits and clips from his infamous WWOZ radio show on Fool’s Paradise with Rex on WMFU in New Jersey.

Ernie K-Doe: The R&B Emperor of New Orleans retails for $39.95 and is available in The Shop at The Collection.
