Book Review: Delta Blues is tops among Blues books
Summary: 5 Stars
Among all the other Blues books on the market, Delta Blues tops them all for new information. The author points out that, in so many words, Mississippi is the birthplace of America's music. Blues is the foundation of popular music and the book details the research to make that point.
This is a book not only for Blues fans but for anyone interested in America's music heritage.
