Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This text is a rethinking of the blues which examines how race relations have altered perceptions of the music. Davis argues for an examination of the blues in its own right, not just as a precursor to jazz and rock 'n' roll.


Customer Reviews:
2 out of 5 stars Blues pot-boiler.   April 20, 2009
D. J. Thomas (Salford, Lancashire.)
3 out of 11 found this review helpful

Nothing new here, not particularly entertaining and a sprinkling of those old chestnuts that were cast aside long ago.
