Opis

A Blues Bibliography, Second Edition is a revised and enlarged version of the definitive blues bibliography first published in 1999. Material previously omitted from the first edition has now been included, and the bibliography has been expanded to include works published since then. In addition to biographical references, this work includes entries on the history and background of the blues, instruments, record labels, reference sources, regional variations and lyric transcriptions and musical analysis.

The Blues Bibliography is an invaluable guide to the enthusiastic market among libraries specializing in music and African-American culture and among individual blues scholars.

Recenzje

'this bibliography is valuable for its coverage of African American newspapers and many obscure blues publications. It may be suitable for larger music reference collections, especially those serving advanced students and scholars' -- Choice, J. C. Wanser, Hiram College
