Music is simply defined as beautiful sounds, melodies, harmonies, and lyrics all converging to soothe the soul. An evolving medium, the spirit and heart of music is perhaps felt most through performance.

This book features the smoky soulful sounds of the Blues, including the origins such as negro spirituals, work songs and ring shouting. Also included are the notable artists and the evolution of the Blues from Pre-War through the modern day.
