Featuring blues artists of every era, from pioneers like Ma Rainey, through legends such as Muddy Waters and B. B. King, to new stars like Keb' Mo' and Shemekia Copeland.Charting the history of the blues from its rural roots in the American South and focusing on the key musicians and singers who brought it recognition worldwide, The Blues: A Visual History is a unique and fully illustrated account of the development of the blues.

It all comes from the Blues.”350 stunning photographs and illustrationsA wealth of archive photographyRare graphic memorabiliaForeword by Marshall Chess, veteran record producer with his family’s legendary Chicago rhythm-and-blues label, Chess Records Author Mike Evans is a musician, editor, and author whose books include the best-selling Elvis: A Celebration, and Ray Charles: The Birth of Soul.
