The blues is more popular than at any other time in the last 30 years, and veterans such as Buddy Guy and Albert Collins rub shoulders in the charts with the rock stars whose music they inspired. Covering more than 70 years of recorded blues, from 1920s pioneers such as Bessie Smith and Blind Lemon Jefferson, to contemporary stars such as Robert Cray and John Lee Hooker, this revised edition presents a guide to the blues, in all its forms, available on CD: the country blues of Robert Johnson, the Chicago blues of Muddy Waters, and the blues-rock of Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones. Charles Shaar Murray writes for "The Daily Telegraph" and is the author of a biography of John Lee Hooker.
