Soul of Key West Vol. 2

The Soul of Key West by Ralph De Palma is a trilogy of photographs and over 150 biographies of the musicians that make up the soul of Key West.

Music permeates Key West right down to the coral rock. The Key West musical soul is an outpost of humanity, One Human Family, in a sea of swirling, turbulent, incivility. Music has an effect on Key West that is magical, and Key West has an effect on its music and musicians. These books tell this story.

Volume II

At 132 pages, the second volume hosts 68 musician stories with 162 photos. It captures the rocking spirit of a tiny island filled with over fifty live music venues and the stories, struggles, and triumphs of musicians who play in Key West night after night.
