Louisiana's unique multicultural history has led to the development
of more styles of American music than anywhere else in the country.
Encyclopedia of Louisiana Musicians compiles over 1,600 native
creators, performers, and recorders of the state's indigenous
musical genres. The culmination of years of exhaustive research,
Gene Tomko's comprehensive volume not only reviews major and
influential artists but also documents for the first time hundreds
of lesser-A known notable musicians. Arranged in accessible A- Z
format- from Fernest ""Man"" Abshire to Zydeco Ray- Tomko's concise
entries detail each musician's life and career, reflecting exciting
new discoveries about many enigmatic and early artists: Country
Jim, Henry Zeno, Douglas Bellard, Good Rockin' Bob, Blind Uncle
Gaspard, Emma L. Jackson, and Rocket Morgan, to name just a few. A
separate section features musicians from elsewhere who made an
impact in Louisiana, such as MississippiA -born blues singerA
-songwriter-A guitarist Eddie ""Guitar Slim"" Jones and celebrated
jazz pianist Billie Pierce, a native of Florida. The final section
highlights key regional record producers and studio and label
owners, like J. D. Miller, Stan Lewis, and Cosimo Matassa, who have
enabled future generations to enjoy music of the Bayou State.
Written with both the casual fan and the scholar in mind,
Encyclopedia of Louisiana Musicians is the definitive reference on
Louisiana's rich musical legacy and the numerous important
musicians it has produced.
