Book Reviews of All Music Guide to the Blues: The Experts' Guide to the Best Blues Recordings (2nd Ed)
Book Review: A Valuable Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
