商品簡介
This resource provides biographical profiles of blueswomen along with samples of their lyrics. The biographies include both famous and unknown singers and songs, but the lyrics all have the blues' recognizable mix of lament and humor. Bourgeois' introduction discusses the recurring themes in the songs these women sang and their value as documentation of the women's lives. The text includes a discography and indices of themes and first lines. This is a paperbound reprint of a 1996 work. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
