Editorial Reviews
Time Out New York, 2/6/08
"Though critical, Hamilton's portraits aren't one-sided. Rich bits of context--including memorable excerpts from Lomax's love letters--insure that we sympathize with the usually well meaning enthusiasts. The result is a challenging and surprisingly timely book: In Search of the Blues serves as a reminder that even in the hip-hop era, white connoisseurship of black culture remains a complicated matter."

Record Collector
"High Fidelity excepted, books about record collectors are pretty rare, but here's one, and it's brilliant...An instant classic."
