The Blues: A Visual History: 100 Years of Music That Changed the World
Mike Evans with Consulting Editors Robert Gordon & Scott Barretta , Foreword by Marshall Chess
Available May 2020
$39.99
Charting the history of the blues from its rural roots
in the American South, and focusing on the key
musicians and singers who brought it recognition
worldwide, The Blues: A Visual History is a unique and fully
illustrated account of the development of the blues. This
deceptively simple, 12-bar musical form has become the
common denominator that has driven the popular music of
the last hundred years. As John Lee Hooker put it: “The music
we play . . . that music is the roots. Rock music, everything else,
is like a branch on the same tree. It all comes from the Blues.”
