Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. [Interesting provenance: From the private library of renowned historian, Philip D. Morgan.] Softcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Small tear to tail of spine. Small stains to edge (text unaffected). "This study views the blues as it developed in the Mississippi Delta. From the first records issued in the 1920s to contemporary sounds by B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Howlin' Wolf, the Delta has produced an uninterrupted musical tradition which is still sung by little-known Delta performers." From the professional library of Dr. Philip D. Morgan, a professor of History at Johns Hopkins University. Morgan specializes in the African-American experience, the history of slavery, the early Caribbean, and the study of the early Atlantic world. Morgan is the author of more than 14 books on Colonial America and African American history. He has won both the Bancroft Prize and the Frederick Douglass Prize for his book Slave Counterpoint: Black Culture in the Eighteenth-Century Chesapeake and Lowcountry (1998).

Ferris examines the tradition of Mississippi Delta blues and African American folkways with the text divided into four sections: "Blues Roots;" "Blues Composition;" "Blues House Party;" and "Letters." Leland, Mississippi bluesman James "Son" Thomas (1926-1993) is one of the primary musicians featured in the book as are Shelby "Poppa Jazz" Brown, Wallace "Pine Top" Johnson, Lee Kizart, Jasper Love, and Maudie Shirley. Trained as a folklorist and cultural anthropologist, scholar William Ferris is a leading authority on African-American music and has authored/edited ten books as well as produced fifteen documentary films regarding the American South and the Mississippi Delta region. Currently the Joel Williamson Eminent Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ferris has taught at Jackson State University, Yale University, and the University of Mississippi (where he co-founded the Center for the Study of Southern Culture in 1979) and also chaired the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1997-2001. BLUES FROM THE DELTA is frequently lauded as among the best studies of Mississippi blues. This book greatly expands upon Ferris' original essay which was merely 111 pages and was published in London by Studio Vista Ltd. in 1970.
