Thread Name: Help: Delta Blues History
Subject: RE: Help: Delta Blues History
From: Lion Robert, the search for more Delta Blues information will take you on a life long journey. I became interested at age 17, over 40 years ago. I believe that the blues will never leave you. Try the library, Paul Oliver is an author you will enjoy. Also, a series of books called Blacks, Whites and Blues. Don't know the author of those. I never enjoyed the Lomaxes because I felt they exploited the singers/musicians for their own ends. Although the Lomaxes were compiling information for the Library of Congress and you can find those publications too.
