About This Book
"Folk and blues remain vibrant and alive today and have been enjoying a new boom as audiences rediscover such blues performers as Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, and Bessie Smith, and folk artists like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Bob Dylan. The excitement and impact of these musical forms are the focus of this extensively revised and updated third edition of Folk and Blues: The Encyclopedia.
It covers a spectrum of artists, from the pioneers at the turn of the twentieth century to the stars of today: Keb' Mo', Altan, the Chieftans, Ani DiFranco, Ry Cooder, Sarah McLachlan, Wilco, John Prine, and Los Lobos, to name a few.
Folk and Blues: The Encyclopedia contains interviews with many of today's top artists; extensive awards information from the Grammys, the Folk Alliance, and the Blues Foundation; photos of the most important folk and blues artists of the twentieth century; and the first comprehensive index of folk and blues music."--BOOK JACKET.
