{"product_id":"the-blues","title":"The Blues","description":"Charting the history of the blues from its rural roots in the American South and focusing on the key musicians and singers who brought it recognition worldwide, The Blues: A Visual History is a unique and fully illustrated account of the development of the blues. This deceptively simple, 12-bar musical form has become the common denominator that has driven the popular music of the last hundred years.

It all comes from the blues.' - 350 stunning photographs and illustrations - A wealth of archive photography - Rare graphic memorabilia - Foreword by Marshall Chess, veteran record producer with his family's legendary Chicago rhythm-and-blues label, Chess Records Author Mike Evans is a musician, editor, and author whose books include the best-selling Elvis: A Celebration, and Ray Charles: The Birth of Soul.
