{"product_id":"screening-the-blues-9780306803444","title":"Screening the Blues","description":"The noted blues scholar Paul Oliver here examines the many different skeins of the blues form, relating them to other black traditions - musical and religious - and tracing the origin of the blues through the dense, many-colored warp and weft of influences and inspiration. He describes \"the dozens,\" Christmas rituals, and the coded (as well as blatant) sexual imagery that has always been a vital element of every popular song tradition. With extensive source notes, photographs, a discography, and two indexes of song titles and singers, this book serves as a sound, serious, and entertaining guide to the blues heritage that has vitalized so much of the world's musical culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Oliver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.29h x 5.43w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306803444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Oliver\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books on the blues including \u003ci\u003eBlues Off the Record.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40322469888115,"sku":"9.78031E+12","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_1c235b5d-ae89-4032-ab90-2e652d0372a4.jpg?v=1659446298","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/screening-the-blues-9780306803444","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
