In 1969 and 1970, the first Ann Arbor Blues Festivals brought
together the greatest-ever selection of blues performers - an
enormous blues party that seemed to feature every big name in the
world of blues. The Ann Arbor Blues Festival was just that: a
festival and celebration of city blues. It helped to mark the
discovery of modern blues music (and the musicians who made that
music) by a much larger audience. The festival, however, was
something more than just a White audience discovering Black music.
Never before had such a far-reaching list of performers been
assembled including the grandfathers of southern country blues and
the hottest electric bands from Chicago. These groundbreaking
festivals were the seed that grew into the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz
Festival, which was continued annually for many years.To name just
a few of the dozens of artists who performed at the festival:
Luther Allison, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Muddy
Waters, Otis Rush, Hound Dog Taylor, Big Mama Thorton, T-Bone
Walker, Sippie Wallace, Junior Wells, and Mighty Joe Young, among
many others. Stanley Livingston, a professional photographer from
Ann Arbor, captured these legendary performances onstage - as well
as the goings-on backstage. Livingston's thousands of photographs
from these festivals - previously unpublished and known only to a
few - are among the finest candid blues shots ever taken. Together
with editor and archivist Michael Erlewine's text accompaniments,
these photographs comprise a visual history and important keepsake
for blues aficionados everywhere.
