About The Country Blues

The Country Blues is a book on country blues music by Samuel Charters, published in 1959. It was the first full-length scholarly study of blues music to be published in the US. At the time, very little research into the subject had been done, and recordings from the 1920s and 1930s were difficult to locate. It marked the beginning of the blues revival, bringing mainstream attention to older blues traditions and inspiring further research. Figures such as Gayle Dean Wardlow and Pete Whelan cited it as a motivating force for their own research.
