The music known as the blues ranges from solo vocals and acoustic guitar to full-blown big bands featuring electric guitars and horn sections. By turns expressing pain and suffering, joy and triumph, humor, failure, love, and hope, the blues wraps lifetimes of hard living in a twelve-bar phrase to create perfect medicine for the world-weary. The album art contained in this book of postcards complements the sonic and emotional gamuts of the genre, featuring portraits of performers as well as photographs and illustrations that bring to life the subject matter of their music. From train tracks and rural shacks to the telling postures and expressions of the musicians themselves, the album covers tell stories as intriguing as the songs they cradle within their sleeves. The Concord Music Group images reproduced in this collection of thirty postcards help deliver the musical messages of Ma Rainey, John Lee Hooker, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Muddy Waters, and many other great blues artists. Thirty full-color reproductions. Oversized postcards measure 6 1/2 x 4 3/4 in. ISBN 978-0-7649-4112-2. |
