Description:
Blues Fell This Morning has become the classic account of the blues, one of the most evocative strands of American popular culture. Richard Wright's foreword pays tribute to Paul Oliver's deep understanding of 'those starkly brutal haunting folk songs created by millions of nameless and illiterate American Negroes in their confused wanderings over the American southland and in their intrusion into the northern American industrial cities'. Here as never before, material from recordings and recollections of singers, going back to the 1920's, are woven into an interpretative account of meaning in the blues.
