In the early 1960's, collectors like himself had just started to introduce this fabulous music (Afro-American country blues) to a wider audience. The book specifies that as Wardlow was growing up in Mississippi, he admired the music of country singer Roy Acuff; as a result, he began to collect "race-music" country blues 78's only for the purpose of trading them for other country and hillbilly 78's. His job as an exterminator at the time, allowed him to canvas the neighbourhoods in Mississippi where he was working for rare blues and country records.
Not surprisingly, his interest in country blues records that had been issued in the 20's and 30's, was heightened considerably as he began to trade with other collectors. Wardlow was able to interview many friends, relatives, and aquaintances of some of the early blues greats like Charley Patton, Son House, Willie Brown, Bukka White, Tommy Johnson, and of course, Robert Johnson.
While these artists are certainly the better known ones, the author drills deep into the history of the blues and finds out much about some of the lesser known, but no less interesting ones like, King Solomon Hill (Joe Holmes), Garfield Akers, the Huff Brothers, and Blind Joe Reynolds to name a few.
Along the way, Wardlow also managed to locate and interview H.C. Speir, the guy who discovered many of the artists, acted as their agent, and got them into a recording studio. Another bonus is an interview with Ishman Bracey who was a partner of Tommy Johnson for a while, and who it seems, knew just about everybody else in the South who was playing blues in the 1920's.
Readers will find some interesting notes where Wardlow helps to dispell some of the silly myths perpetuated about the blues (I sold my soul to the Devil on a dirt road in exchange for talent; Charley Patton was murdered).
Anyone who has the least interest in country blues will enjoy this book and its accompanying CD containing rare recordings and interviews by the artists and promoters discussed in the book. While the book is now out of print, it's historical importance is likely to ensure that it will be republished in the near future.
This is one of the most interesting and scholarly books ever written on the subject of country blues. If you want it from the source, this book and the one published by Alex van der Tuuk "Paramount's Rise and Fall" (Mainspring Press) are about as close as you are going to get to the source of this great music.
