This reference volume is intended for both the casual and the most
avid blues fan. It is divided into five separately introduced
sections and covers 50 artists with names like Muddy, Gatemouth and
Hound Dog who helped shape 20th-century American music. Beginning
with the pioneering Mississippi Delta bluesmen, the book then
follows the spread of the genre to the city, in the section on the
Chicago Blues School. The third segment covers the Texas blues
tradition; the fourth, the great blueswomen; and the fifth, the
genres development outside its main schools. The styles covered
range from Virginia-Piedmont to Bentonia and from barrelhouse to
boogie-woogie. The main text is augmented by substantial
discographies and a lengthy bibliography.
