Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
British author Knight (Trekking in the Moroccan Atlas) has compiled a travel guide that focuses on the journey of blues and jazz music and musicians from New Orleans to Chicago via Highway 61. Besides providing a brief history of the music, landmarks, live music locations, record stores, and radio stations, the author also includes basic travel information for the cities and towns along the way, as well as short interviews with musicians. The five-page appendix contains brief biographies of the musicians mentioned in the text. The basic travel component is excellent, listing details on restaurants, lodging, transportation, and other services. The maps of the streets, cities, and regions are outstanding. Other similar titles include Christiane Bird's The Jazz and Blues Lover's Guide to the U.S. (LJ 3/15/91) and Steve Cheseborough's Blues Traveling (LJ 2/15/01), which covers the Mississippi Delta. At once a travel guide and a supplement to histories of the blues, this title is recommended for all libraries on the Highway 61 corridor and to larger public and academic libraries in the rest of the country.
