Beyond the Crossroads: The Devil and the Blues Tradition - New Directions in Southern Studies
Adam Gussow
In this groundbreaking study, Adam Gussow takes the full measure of the devil's presence in the blues. Working from original transcriptions of more than 125 recordings released during the past ninety years, Gussow explores the varied uses to which black southern blues people have put this trouble-sowing, love-wrecking, but also empowering figure.
