Book Synopsis The History of the Blues by : Francis Davis
Book excerpt: This comprehensive study of blues music disputes the idea that it is strictly derived from African rhythms, contending that it is "Southern" music as much as "black" music, and offers detailed analysis of leading blues musicians, from Count Basie to Robert Cray.
