The American Blues Guitar : An Illustrated History

Summary: How the guitar has changed and evolved
Review: In The American Blues Guitar: An Illustrated History, musician, journalist, and guitar specialist Rick Batey combines eye-catching color illustrations with an upbeat, involving narration on how the Blues have evolved as an American musical evocation through its unique expression on the guitar. However, the greater part of this informative historical guide is devoted to specific information concerning individual models and types of guitars themselves, as well as some of the more famous singers who played them. The American Blues Guitars is a recommended addition to personal and academic American Music History reference collections and reading lists as being a superbly organized, presented, and involving analytical survey of how the guitar has changed and evolved.
