How did a musical form restricted by studios and distributors to African American artists and markets from the 1920s to the 1950s land within earshot of 1960s British teens? Schwartz (historical musicology, U. of Kansas) traces the trans-Atlantic path of the blues from American tradition to English mid-century subculture, complete with critical responses. Her work on the influential inter-war exile recordings is fascinating, as is Britain's early perception of blues as a jazz form. She ably builds a foundation of analysis of the blues revival of the late 1950s and early 1960s, artist by artist, nationality by nationality, so her examination of British master practitioners of the 1970s and beyond makes perfect sense.
