Description:
Delta blues is the cornerstone of American popular music and the bedrock of rock ‘n’ roll. The Delta takes in a large area, stretching from Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee and, of course, Mississippi, and it was here that a variety of influences merged together and evolved into a deep, rhythmic form of music, full of feeling and passion, known as ‘the blues’. The Rough Guide To Delta Blues delves deep into the region to explore the talent and emotional intensity of some of the most famous and legendary artists ever recorded, reflecting the struggle of living and loving in the Deep South.
