Superbly researched and vividly written, "The Devil's Music "is one
of the only books to trace the rise and development of the blues
both in relation to other forms of black music and in the context
of American social history as experienced by African Americans.
From its roots in the turn-of-the-century honky-tonks of New
Orleans and the barrelhouses and plantations of the Mississippi
Delta to modern legends such as John Lee Hooker and B. B. King, the
blues comes alive here through accounts by the blues musicians
themselves and those who knew them. Throughout this wide-ranging
and fascinating book, Giles Oakley describes the texture of the
life that made the blues possible, and the changing attitudes
toward the music. "The Devil's Music" is a wholehearted and loving
examination of one of America's most powerful traditions.
