Talkin' to Myself, Blues Lyrics, 1921-1942 is a compendium of
lyrics by the great blues recording artists of the classic blues
era. It includes over 2000 songs, transcribed directly from the
original recordings, making it by far the most comprehensive and
accurate collection of blues lyrics available. Blues lyrics are
recognized as a unique form of African-American poetry. They
reflect myriad issues, well beyond the cliches of love gone wrong.
The blues was a means of communicating a wide range of feelings on
topics as varied as love, illness, politics, work and employment,
recreation - the entire range of the African-American experience.
Artists covered include many major blues performers, as well as the
obscure. Some of the better known names include Kokomo Arnold,
Blind Willie McTell, Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, Lead Belly,
Son House, Skip James, Blind Blake, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and
dozens more. Today, the blues is enjoying a period of popularity
and study that is unparalleled in their century-plus tradition.
Talkin' to Myself. African-American culture, and folk poetry - as
well as the myriad blues fans around the globe. It will stand as
the standard collection for decades to come.
