The essential history of this distinctly American genre.Atlanta JournalConstitution In this expertly researched, elegantly written, dispassionate yet thoughtful history (Gary Giddins), awardwinning author Ted Gioia gives us the rare combination of a tome that is both deeply informative and enjoyable to read (Publishers Weekly, starred review). From the field hollers of nineteenthcentury plantations to Muddy Waters and B.B. King, Delta Blues delves into the uneasy mix of race and money at the point where traditional music became commercial and bluesmen found new audiences of thousands. Combining extensive fieldwork, archival research, interviews with living musicians, and firstperson accounts with his own calm, argumentclosing incantations to draw a line through a century of Delta blues (New York Times), this engrossing narrative is flavored with insightful and vivid musical descriptions that ensure an understanding of not only the musicians, but the music itself (Boston Sunday Globe). Rooted in the thickastar Delta soil, Delta Blues is already a contemporary classic in its field (Jazz Review). 38 illustrations
