Reviews

"Meticulously documented and engagingly written, Blues Music in the Sixties is a book that I have been waiting for since the 1980s. In these six case studies Adelt addresses important issues about race relations, rock music, the folk revival, and the music business during the decade when so many white music enthusiasts 'discovered' many forms of black American music, perhaps most importantly the blues." - Kip Lornell, George Washington University"
