spotlighting landmark musicians, recordings and happenings along the
way. Blues greats covered here include Leadbelly, Bessie Smith, Robert
Johnson, Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughan and dozens more. The book also
explores the social and cultural mores of the blues, the impact of
American history, and why the blues is such an influential and seemingly
immortal genre. Published in cooperation with Rhino Records, it
includes beautiful full-color pages throughout, with rare photos of
players, album covers, record labels and more.
