Wild Mustard paints a picture of rural Appalachian life during the Depression. It brings back memories of a harsh time when luxuries were few but love and laughter abounded. Of course, not every memory is perfect, as sometimes there was a quiet loneliness that reached to the innermost parts of the soul. Wild Mustard salutes the Appalachian women who demonstrated great strength of character by cooking their daily meals on wood stoves, washing clothes on washboards, sitting up with the sick, and going to church on Sunday to praise God with song and to give thanks for what they had.

Joe Dobbs' saga traces his growing up in rural Louisiana playing first a harmonica, then a broken-down $10 violin on the way to a scintillating globe-trotting career as a fiddler, raconteur, music store merchant and radio show host. The story spills across Mississippi, Arkansas, New Mexico, New York City, West Virginia and venues as farflung as New Zealand with pit stops in Nasvhille and Las Vegas. This is a down-home book of music and mischief by a warm and talented son of the South.
