The noted blues scholar Paul Oliver here examines the many
different skeins of the blues form, relating them to other black
traditions - musical and religious - and tracing the origin of the
blues through the dense, many-coloured warp and weft of influences
and inspiration. He describes "the dozens," Christmas rituals, and
the coded (as well as blatant) sexual imagery that has always been
a vital element of every popular song tradition. With extensive
source notes, photographs, a discography, and two indexes of song
titles and singers, this book serves as a sound, serious, and
entertaining guide to the blues heritage that has vitalized so much
of the world's musical culture.
