Academic papers on Black music,

This review is from: PROTEST AND PRAISE (Paperback)
The ten chapters of this volume are varied in content, style and interest to the nonprofessional. However, the chapter "Bluesman Adam and Blueswoman Eve: A Theology for the Blues" alone make the book worth its cost. Spencer presents an argument for considering blues as unchurched religion, complementary to church music. One need only to love the blues for this chapter to provoke thought.
At the other extreme "Isochronisms of Antistructure: Music in the Black Holiness-Pentecostal Testimony Service," places the holiness-pentecostal music in the framework of Bruce Reed (The Dynamics of Religion), Martin Buber (I and Thou), Victor Turner (The Ritual Process) ... Because of the popularity of the Sacred Steel cd's, this essay is worth the effort required to understand Spencer's analysis. Historical essays on the ring-shout, spirituals, and gospel music provide a solid background for the music. In these essays, as in the entire collection, example recordings would enhance the volume.
