"Superbly researched and vividly written, THE DEVIL'S MUSIC is one of the only books to trace the rise and development of the blues both in relation to other forms of black music and in the context of American social history as experienced by African Americans. From its roots in the turn-of-the-century honky-tonks of New Orleans and the barrelhouses and plantations of the Mississippi Delta to modern legends such as John Lee Hooker and B. B. King, the blues comes alive here through accounts by the blues musicians themselves and those who knew them. Throughout this wide-ranging and fascinating book, BBC-TV producer Giles Oakley describes the texture of the life that made the blues possible, and the changing attitudes toward the music. THE DEVIL'S MUSIC is a wholehearted and loving examination of one of America's most powerful traditions." [publisher copy] "Its combination of sociological and musical insights makes THE DEVIL'S MUSIC one of the essential books on the blues. Best of all, though, is its sheer readability--Oakley's way of putting flesh on myths."--Francis Davis. "Giles Oakley has written what may well become a standard history of this music. No one has shown better than Oakley that the blues were more than simply 'entertainment'--that they were in fact expressions of deeply felt emotions that demanded release in song. Almost every blues singer and composer who was important is represented."--Publishers Weekly. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & sharp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable., Books<
