WDCB's Leslie Keros sits down with Alligator Records founder Bruce Iglauer to talk about his new book BITTEN BY THE BLUES.

“The music keeps me coming back to the office every day! When this music is right—when it’s full of the real emotions of the blues and has what I call the ‘healing feeling’ that you get when you get that soul-to-soul communication with musicians—nothing could be more exciting.” - Bruce Iglauer talking about what excites him after all these years
