Summary: WHY IS THIS WONDERFUL BOOK OUT OF PRINT???
Review: I've been trying to buy this book for the last 5 years but I can't find a copy of it to buy. I finally found a copy to borrow from a local library. The book is wonderful and any blues lover will enjoy it. So if anyone who reads this can do anything to get this book back into print, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

Summary: A wonderful anthology
Review: The lyrics to almost three hundred blues are in this substantial book, which should be enough to convince anyone to get it. Need more persuading? Okay, how about visual art: all of the lyrics are typeset in innovative and original ways that really bring out the spirit of the music, and there are rough, striking illustrations of many of the artists represented in this work (which, incidentally, includes just about anyone you can think of).An unexpected but very welcome addition is the final section, entitled 'A Survey of Sorts: Various Voices', which has quotes from everyone from Basho to Blind Blake on the nature of poetry and melancholy. This book is truly unique among lyric collections, well presented and full of surprises. Get it if you're even remotely interested in music.
