Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. A highly-readable and up-to-date history of the blues. The author is not averse to debunking, whilst simultaneously indulging, many of the myths that have grown up around the music. For beginners this should provide an easy and enjoyable starting point. For the knowledgeable it serves as a refreshing corrective and brings to bear a contemporary sense of proportion. One missing dimension I personally would have liked to have seen included is more than a passing reference to the last wave of Mississippi musicians represented by the Fat Possum label and including artists such as RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, T-Model Ford, Cedell Davis. I think these have proved to be of far greater significance to blues discovery now in that they have introduced a new generation to the music and are of far more interest than Robert Cray, Chris Wiley, John Campbell and suchlike who are held up as continuing with the tradition. For the latter-day stuff you need to go to the late Robert Palmer's 'Deep Blues' (not the book, but the documentary available on DVD) and the 'You See Me Laughin'documentary (available on DVD).

Challenging many accepted notions about the blues, a combination of cultural commentary, musical analysis, research, and visual images provides a new perspective on an enduring musical form and its place in American history. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
