Born out of the field hollers, work songs, and spirituals sung by African-American slaves and tenant farmers, blues music often speaks of oppression, sadness, and love--topics that transcend racial and ethnic boundaries. American Popular Music: Blues, in more than 450 entries, brings together in a single volume all the aspects of this musical genre, creating an essential resource for music lovers everywhere, as well as those interested in the historical roots of an American legacy.
