Roy Book Binder (born October 5, 1941 as Paul Roy Bookbinder) is an American blues guitarist, singer-songwriter and storyteller.[1] A student and friend of the Rev. Gary Davis, he is equally at home with blues and ragtime. He is known to shift from open tunings to slide arrangements to original compositions, with both traditional and self-styled licks. His storytelling is another characteristic that makes his style unique.
