Book Description
"The blues can stir your soul and relax it to . . . Once the blues gets you, it doesn't let go. And you don't want it to . . . "-Nat Hentoff, from the Foreword
"The blues can stir your soul and relax it to . . . Once the blues gets you, it doesn't let go. And you don't want it to . . . "-Nat Hentoff, from the Foreword
With its five-star rating system and pithy reviews of more than seven hundred recent and reissued recordings, The Grove Press Guide to the Blues on CD separates the poetry from the dross, taking measure of the various blues styles. With great respect yet an unforgiving eye for artifice, noted blues critic Frank-John Hadley gives the word on everyone from Blind Lemon Jefferson to Muddy Waters, Bessie Smith, Koko Taylor, and youngbloods like Robert Cray and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The Grove Press Guide to the Blues on CD is guaranteed to make any reader's trip to the music store more fun, more informed-and more rewarding.
Frank-John Hadley writes about blues and jazz for Down Beat, Living Blues, and Jazziz.

Clueless Reviewing the Blues
11. Mai 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
The constant berating of people who's voices aren't 50's style radio "pukers" as "being totally devoid of emotion" or "unable to express emotional content" belays an inherent lack of understanding of the blues and how the music expresses emotion. This book smacks of a pampered academic trying to compare workin' folks' music to slick city jazz enjoyed by the priveleged upper class. I bought this book used for $8.00 and refuse to sell it or give it away. I have hidden it at the back of my closet in the hopes that it will NEVER see the light of day. I give it 2 stars for the accuracy of the listing of the players on the discs and the slightly more accurate reviews of the instrumental playing.

A very useful guide by the best blues critic today
5. Juni 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Hadley is a true critic. If he doesn't have something nice to say, he says it anyway. Read his reviews every month in Downbeat for proof of that. He has very eclectic tastes and does not suffer singers who cannot sing or express the song or writers who cannot write. He points out the good and bad of performance and production. I am tired of critics being afraid to say something is no good or at least point out faults in a recording. Sometimes the emperor has no clothes and the critic needs to tell us that. I do not see any bias in favor or against any type of blues or any era of blues in his book or in his Downbeat columns, only criticism of failings that need to be pointed out. If you do prefer a certain era or style (we all have our own preferences and biases) this book will point you in the right direction for blues you will appreciate.
