Early Blues Bibliography EARLY BLUES BIBLIOGRAPHY In any selection of books the choice must inevitably be subjective as to what to include or exclude. This selection has ommitted some choices that other might have included. Also there are many articles, periodicals and magazines that provide information for the researcher that cannot be included here but are, perhaps, in Robert Ford's 'Blues Bibliography' or Edward Komara's '100 Books Every Blues Fan Should Have'. This selection is based very much on my own collection of books found in markets, second hand book shops but more recently through Amazon and the web site 'Abe Books' Many books are out of print, have reached the third, fourth or later edition but details are included here that will allow the collector to locate and purchase their own choice. I have not sought to comment on the accuracy, usefulness or expertise of each publication and care should be taken on choice of purchase as many are price inflated when a little more research will lead to better value for money. Where possible I have tended to provide details of hard cover books but many are also available in soft cover at a much reduced price. It should also be remembered that any list such as this is out of date the moment that it is produced. New books are regularly published. The University Presses of America provide a sound source of academic work under the general priciple of 'Publish or Perish' which reflects the wide range of books from the very simple history to the in depth difficult to read study of an aspect of my favourite genre of music - The Blues. There are some 470 + books listed and I have attempted to categorise these books into: Title Editors and Authors History and Social Comment Biographies and Profiles Interviews, Photographic Record and Portraits Reference and Discography. Poetry and Travel Guides - For those who wish to visit the Blues Arguably, all books referring to the blues are reference and categories might also have included: Lyrics Tablature Tutorials in the Blues - of which there are countless Magazines Page i However, I will leave those four to others. That said I have included a few related books such as a minimum fiction, slavery and historical development of Afro-Carribeans in America. All of which have a bearing on the completeness of my own collection. The word 'The' is ommitted from titles to allow for a better presentation in alphabetical format. All mistakes and ommissions are mine and I apologise but will happily correct when pointed out. Finally, I finish with an appeal for help. One, to add to this list I need suggestions. Secondly, I am aware of the existance of a series of volumes in which the lyrics of all recorded blues from the 1920's have been transcribed. However, I cannot find details of these volumes. Any help please?

Everybody’s at your door asking if you need food, asking what they can do for you. But after the couple weeks, every- body goes on with their life. But me and Daniel were left with that – this was our life without J.J. We were alone. I needed to do something.” Jennifer had referred grieving families to the Children’s Grief Center before and knew it was a trusted resource they could rely on. “I called the Grief Center and explained our situation. Daniel didn’t want to go.” “I really didn’t wanna talk about my dad,” Daniel remembered. “It felt shocking and I didn’t believe it.” After attending an orientation and seeing other kids like himself, Daniel grew more comfortable with the idea. “When I went to the Children’s Grief Center it felt like someone understood me and it felt really comforting.” Today, Jennifer and Daniel are doing well and keeping J.J. close at heart. “Always remember the good times and always stay strong.

    100% unofficial newsletter for P&O Blues Cruises Bargain Blues – book now! Those of you who keep a close eye on our ‘Blues@Sea’ Facebook Page will be aware that last month there was a sudden, unannounced, increase by P&O in the price of the November Blues Revue. This decision was reversed with the alert that the £99 price may well increase on Tuesday 19th September. DON’T DELAY!!!! Phone 0800 130 0030 (Currently there are almost 250 ‘cruisers’ signed up) 5-4-3-2-1 (Countdown for Kaz) For many years it’s been the ultimate accolade for UK blues artists to appear on the Paul Jones BBC Radio 2 Blues Show. In this edition (which focusses primarily on the great ‘Swamp Blues’ harpist Slim Harpo) a Kaz Hawkins track is featured. Kaz is at the start of her final tour with this fabulous multi-national band – ‘Cruisers’, of course, get two ‘bites at the cherry’ in November. This programme is well worth a listen - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09039ny Ciao! Perhaps the least well known ‘Blues Revue’ act (to UK fans at least) is Veronica Sbergia & Max De Bernardi (Italy)…but that’s about to change. They swept to victory in the 2013 European Blues Challenge (as ‘The Red Wine Serenaders) and since then have performed across the Continent with their country blues and ragtime, hokum, jug band and rural music from the 20’s and 30’s. Veronica and Max who use strictly acoustic instruments such ukulele, washboard, kazoo and resophonic guitars, are terrific musicians and a lot-of-fun!

Norman Beaker and his band seem to be constantly on the road …particularly on Mainland Europe.

  • Giving America Back the Blues
    GIVING AMERICA BACK THE BLUES OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How did the early Rolling Stones help popularize the Blues? OVERVIEW The Rolling Stones ultimately made their mark as the nonconformist outlaws of Rock and Roll. But before they were bad boys, the Stones were missionaries of the Blues. The young Rolling Stones — Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman — were white kids who hailed from working- and middle-class Britain and set out to play American music, primarily that of African Americans with roots in the South. In so doing, they helped bring this music to a new, largely white audience, both in Britain and the United States. The young men who formed the Rolling Stones emerged from the club scene fostered by British Blues pioneers Cyril Davies and Alexis Korner. These two men and their band, Blues Incorporated, helped popularize the American Blues, whose raw intensity resonated with a generation of Britons who had grown up in the shadow of war, death, the Blitz, postwar rationing, and the hardening of the Cold War standoff. Much of the Stones’ early work consisted of faithful covers of American Blues artists that Davies, Korner, and the Stones venerated: Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Slim Harpo, Jimmy Reed. The early Stones in particular helped make the Blues wildly popular among young Britons. As the Stones’ fame grew and they became part of the mid-1960s British “invasion” of America, they also reintroduced the Blues to American listeners, most notably young, white audiences with limited exposure to the music. But almost from day one, the Stones were more than a Blues cover band.

Abstract The release of Loretta Lynn‟s 2004 album Van Leer Rose welcomed back after 33 years one of the premier feminist voices in recorded music. The songs that Loretta wrote in 60s and early 70s were some of the most controversial and politically charged to hit the airwaves. They encompassed a microcosm of issues that rural women were facing including the changing sexual roles of women, ideas on marriage, the ravages of war and substance abuse.

  • Robert Johnson from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Robert Johnson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Robert Leroy Johnson Born May 8, 1911 Hazlehurst, Mississippi Died August 16, 1938 (aged 27) Greenwood, Mississippi Genres Delta blues Occupation(s) Musician, songwriter Instruments Guitar, vocals, harmonica Years active 1929 – 1938 Notable instruments Gibson L-1 Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1911 – August 16, 1938) was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His landmark recordings in 1936 and 1937, display a combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that has influenced later generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend, including the Faustian myth that he sold his soul at a crossroads to achieve success. As an itinerant performer who played mostly on street corners, in juke joints, and at Saturday night dances, Johnson had little commercial success or public recognition in his lifetime. It was only after the reissue of his recordings in 1961, on the LP King of the Delta Blues Singers that his work reached a wider audience. Johnson is now recognized as a master of the blues, particularly of the Mississippi Delta blues style. He is credited by many rock musicians as an important influence; Eric Clapton has called Johnson "the most important blues singer that ever lived." Johnson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an early Influence in their first induction ceremony in 1986. In 2010, David Fricke ranked Johnson fifth in Rolling Stone′s list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Life and career Early life Robert Johnson was born in Hazlehurst, Mississippi possibly on May 8, 1911, to Julia Major Dodds (born October 1874) and Noah Johnson (born December 1884).

How will it end, ain’t got a " iend, My only sin, is in my skin, What did I do to be so black and blue?” Armstrong’s celebrity stance as an entertainer caused rejection to later generations of African Americans who saw remnants of “Uncle Tomism”.
