Never before has this musical form been examined so scrupulously. Evans traces the impact of commercialism, especially the phonograph record, on blues history, as well as the various local traditions that produce a given blues tune and text. The author has done extensive field work in Mississippi and provides here a structure for understanding not only the blues but almost any other oral literature from other cultures. This book won the University of Chicago Folklore Prize. All of the greatest blues singers - Robert Johnson, Tommy Johnson, Muddy Waters, Blink Willie McTell, Blind Lemon Jefferson - are discussed in relation to their predecessors and followers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 227mmItem Length: 153mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 534gAuthor: David EvansGenre: Music Dance & TheatreRelease Year: 1987 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
