The Blues: The Authentic Narrative of My Music & Culture

The Blues: The Authentic Narrative of My Music & Culture

The Blues: The Authentic Narrative of My Music & Culture

An untold authentic counter-narrative blues history and the first written by an African American blues artist

All prior histories on the blues have alleged it originated on plantations in the Mississippi Delta. Not true, says author Chris Thomas King. In The Blues, King present facts to disprove such myths.

This book is the first to argue the blues began as a cosmopolitan art form, not a rural one.

As early as 1900, the sound of the blues was ubiquitous in New Orleans. The Mississippi Delta, meanwhile, was an unpopulated sportsman’s paradise-the frontier was still in the process of being cleared and drained for cultivation.”¯

Expecting these findings to be controversial in some circles, King has buttressed his conclusions with primary sources and years of extensive research, including a sojourn to West Africa and interviews with surviving folklorists and blues researchers from the 1960s folk-rediscovery epoch.”¯

New Orleans, King states, was the only place in the Deep South where the sacred and profane could party together without fear of persecution, creating the blues.

Saved by a Song: The Art & Healing Power of Songwriting

Generous and big-hearted, Gauthier has stories to tell and worthwhile advice to share. –Wally Lamb, author of I Know This Much Is True</i></b> Gauthier has an uncanny ability to combine songwriting craft with a seekerx27s vulnerability and a sagex27s wisdom.x26#34; –Amy Ray, Indigo Girls</b>

From the Grammy nominated folk singer and songwriter, an inspiring exploration of creativity and the redemptive power of song
</b>
Mary Gauthier was twelve years old when she was given her Aunt Jennyx27s old guitar and taught herself to play with a Mel Bay basic guitar workbook. Music offered her a window to a world where others felt the way she did. Songs became lifelines to her, and she longed to write her own, one day. Then, for a decade, while struggling with addiction, Gauthier put her dream away and her call to songwriting faded. It wasnx27t until she got sober and went to an open mic with a friend did she realize that she not only still wanted to write songs, she needed to. Today, Gauthier is a decorated musical artist, with numerous awards and recognition for her songwriting, including a Grammy nomination. In Saved by a Song</i>, Mary Gauthier pulls the curtain back on the artistry of songwriting. Part memoir, part philosophy of art, part nuts and bolts of songwriting, her book celebrates the redemptive power of song to inspire and bring seemingly different kinds of people together.</p>

But this time you will apply the pattern over a song that uses more chords, moves around different strings and the fretboard, and sounds cool. These songs will give you a sense of accomplishment when you master them and will make people turn their heads to listen when they hear you playing them.
