Constant Sorrow Press, 2020/2021. Softcover, bound in matte wrappers; 352 pages including song list and index. This offer is for Volume 1 and 2. Condition: As New, with no flaws or wear. Very comprehensive, encyclopedic history of American music of the 20th century built on and blended with what enslaved Africans and their descendants created on these shores. "In his most ambitious book(s) to date, Allen Lowe proves Ralph Ellison’s claim that the whole of our nation’s culture—particularly its music—was built on and blended with what enslaved Africans and their descendants created on these shores. And he pulls no punches and leaves no stone unturned. In nuanced, entertaining, and often audacious prose, Lowe deploys his encyclopedic knowledge to unearth an elusive history of race and American music, unbounded by genre, geography or time. Readers be warned: fasten your seatbelts, adjust your hearing, and prepare to forget everything you know.".
