First line
Late in the 1960s, when I was playing guitar in Lazy Bill Lucas's blues band, I asked him what the phrase down home meant.
From the rear cover
Hailed as a classic in music studies when it was first published in 1977, Early Downhome Blues is detailed look at traditional country blues artists and their work. Combining musical analysis and cultural history, Titon examines the origins of downhome blues in African American society. He also explores what happened to the art form when the blues were commercially recorded and become part of the larger American Culture.
