This is a delightful book about and including interviews with various artists (including writers, musicians, painters, photographers, etc). Some of those included are Eudora Welty, Cleanth Brooks, Bobby Rush, on & on. It was wonderful to read about their thoughts on the region we call the south, their views of people, and places. This volume also includes a DVD of some of these interviews, as well as a CD. This is truly a keepsake.
Added this to my library as it had a chapter on African American quiltmkaing. Good book!

> LES VOIX DU MISSISSIPPI (1DVD 1 CD audio), par William Ferris (Papa Guédé, 2013, Relié, 336 pages). — Au début des années 1960, le folkloriste William Ferris décide de sillonner les villes et les campagnes du Mississippi pour enregistrer le blues de sa région natale. Équipé d'un magnétophone, d'un appareil photo et d'une caméra, il parcourt les églises, les fermes cotonnières, les prisons et les clubs du delta. Il collecte ainsi des heures de musique - spiritual, blues, gospel, work chant - et les témoignages de la communauté noire, dans une Amérique encore ségrégationniste. Cet ouvrage, accompagné d'un CD et d'un DVD rassemblant les films et les enregistrements réalisés sur le terrain, présente les portraits de ces femmes et de ces hommes, tels que B. B. King, Willie Dixon et James "Son Ford" Thomas, qui ont façonné le blues.
