A visual storytelling celebration of American roots music in its
rich variety, through unseen and newly scanned photographs by the
founder of the legendary Arhoolie records. Founded in 1960 by Chris
Strachwitz, the one-man operation of Arhoolie Records eventually
produced more than 400 albums during more than forty years in
operation, exploring the far corners of American vernacular music -
blues, gospel, Cajun, zydeco, hillbilly, Texas-Mexican norteno
music, and more. From the very beginning, Strachwitz brought his
camera along with recording equipment as he met and recorded
now-legendary artists such as Lightnin' Hopkins, Mississippi Fred
McDowell, Clifton Chenier, and Big Joe Williams. This book collects
more than 150 of his best, most intimate and exciting images - many
never-before seen - each with rich captions by Strachwitz and
award-winning music journalist Joel Selvin, along with a
substantial 20,000 word essay about Arhoolie, Strachwitz, and the
music by Selvin.
