Description

Sure to strike a chord with guitarists and blues fans, this authoritative and photo-filled volume includes over 150 of the genre's greatest players and performers from the prewar era to present.

From blues pioneers like Robert Johnson, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and Memphis Minnie to today's hottest guitar slingers such as Derek Trucks, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., and Samantha Fish, The Ultimate Book of Blues Guitar Legends is your guide to the instruments and musicians that made blues a cornerstone of American culture and the very foundation of rock and roll. Author and guitar journalist Pete Prown presents his subjects by blues-defining eras and subgenres, including: early acoustic and country blues, Chicago blues, the British Invasion, blues rock, and more.
