Got lots of helpful and factfiled info about each entry, and a very helpful and great reviews on each artist albums...nothing to tell more about it.

Summary: A Valuable Tool
Comment: This book (encyclopedia) gives a description of, and rates nearly every quality blues recording available. Contains detailed histories of the lives of thousands of blues artists.

Contains detailed essays on the roots of the blues, the evolution, and different styles of blues, such as Delta, Chicago, Piedmont, West Coast.....And also has music maps showing the influences on different styles of blues, as well as describing the most influential artist in each respective style.

I don't buy an album without consulting this, or the jazz edition. This blues edition is so comprehensive it even delves into gospel, jazz, and a bit of soul music.

Full of great information. I am sure that this is the best blues encyclopedia available.

Summary: Indespensible
Comment: I reach for this book when I get a call to be a guest on radio shows to promote my book, "Forever Retro Blues." I've found the information in here easy to read and buff up on the blues. The essays are injoyable, and the history is the most complete on the blues I have found.
