For all of its apparent simplicity-a few chords, twelve bars, and a
supposedly straightforward American character-blues music is a
complex phenomenon with cultural significance that has varied
greatly across different historical contexts. One Sound, Two Worlds
examines the development of the blues in East and West Germany,
demonstrating the multiple ways social and political conditions can
shape the meaning of music. Based on new archival research and
conversations with key figures, this comparative study provides a
cultural, historical, and musicological account of the blues and
the impact of the genre not only in the two Germanys, but also in
debates about the history of globalization.
