ISBN10: 0060524278, ISBN13: 9780060524272, [publisher: Amistad Press] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The life of blues legend Robert Johnson becomes the centerpiece for this innovative look at what many consider to be America's deepest and most influential music genre. Pivotal are the questions surrounding why Johnson was ignored by the core black audience of his time yet now celebrated as the greatest figure in blues history.Trying to separate myth from reality, biographer Elijah Wald studies the blues from the inside -- not only examining recordings but also the recollections of the musicians themselves, the African-American press, as well as examining original research. What emerges is a new appreciation for the blues and the movement of its artists from the shadows of the 1930s Mississippi Delta to the mainstream venues frequented by today's loyal blues fans.

ISBN10: 0060524278, ISBN13: 9780060524272, [publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Inc, New York] Softcover Paperback. Escaping the Delta uses Robert Johnson and his work as the center for a fresh look at blues in general, taking his music and the myths surrounding his life as the key to an exploration of the reality and evolution of the larger world of pop music. Wald takes two questions as his jumping-off place: Why was Johnsons work ignored by the blues audience of his time, and why is he now considered the greatest figure in blues history First looking at the birth of the blues boom, the range of other African-American music that went along with it, and the unique world of the Mississippi Delta, Escaping the Delta then turns to Johnson himself, presenting the story of his life and making the first thorough examination of his musical catalog. Finally, Escaping the Delta then follows the history of the blues and Johnsons legacy to the present day, tracing what the genre meant to a black popular audience and how it was transformed by the white blues fans who turned Johnson from a talented but obscure Mississippi guitarist into the romantic legend we think of today. This close-up look at the life and music of Robert Johnson and his contributions to the evolution of blues music describes his obscurity during his own life, his innovative influence on American popular music, and how the history of blues music was shaped and transformed by white fans with different tastes ...
