About this title

Review:

"The reappearance of these three long-out-of-print books is enough cause for celebration." Notes

"What a delight to have three classic works on blues reissued under one cover. Oliver is to be congratulated for conceiving of the idea and for bringing it to fruition...This book should be in every academic library." CHOICE Dec 2001

"...anyone with a general knowledge of the blues will have his or her understanding deepened by these works, particularly in the updated guise in which they appear here." American Recorder

Book Description:

This 2001 volume combines the three influential books, Savannah Syncopators; Blacks, Whites and Blues and Recording the Blues, updated with additional essays. Together these books confront the problem of how, when and from where the blues emerged and developed, and redress some persistant misconceptions in writing on African-American music.
