Blues is the cornerstone of American popular music, the bedrock of rock and roll. In this extraordinary musical and social history, Robert Palmer traces the odyssey of the blues from its rural beginnings, to the steamy bars of Chicago’s South Side, to international popularity, recognition, and imitation. Palmer tells the story of the blues through the lives of its greatest practitioners: Robert Johnson, who sang of being pursued by the hounds of hell; Muddy Waters, who electrified Delta blues and gave the music its rock beat; Robert Lockwood and Sonny Boy Williamson, who launched the King Biscuit Time radio show and brought blues to the airwaves; and John Lee Hooker, Ike Turner, B. B. King, and many others.
El blues es la piedra angular de la música popular estadounidense, la base del rock and roll. En esta extraordinaria historia musical y social, Robert Palmer recorre la odisea del blues desde sus inicios rurales, pasando por los bares de moda del South Side de Chicago, hasta la popularidad, el reconocimiento y la imitación internacionales. Palmer narra la historia del blues a través de las vidas de sus más grandes exponentes: Robert Johnson, quien cantaba sobre ser perseguido por los sabuesos del infierno; Muddy Waters, quien electrizó el blues del Delta y le dio a la música su ritmo rockero; Robert Lockwood y Sonny Boy Williamson, quienes lanzaron el programa de radio King Biscuit Time y llevaron el blues a las ondas; y John Lee Hooker, Ike Turner, B. B. King y muchos otros.
