Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This book is an outgrowth of Down Home Music 's mail-order catalog. Thirty-five hundred blues records, cassettes, and compact discs are listed, along with brief reviews and biographical information on the artists. The author has a genuine reverence for the blues and is unafraid to criticize poor material. The periods and styles covered range from the country blues of the 1920s to Robert Cray's latest release. Many items listed are vintage recordings reissued by foreign labels, while the newer material is often from small independent labels. You won't find these recordings at the local K-Mart, so the interested patron will appreciate the ordering information supplied. The recent rebirth of interest in this long-neglected, distinctly American artform makes this a valuable addition to any library.
