We often take music for granted for it is all around us. At the push of a radio button. To be bought with the click of a keyboard stroke. Deep Blues by Robert PalmerFrom here, Palmer moves all over the south as the sons of the Delta Blues move to cities all over the country. Louis, Helena.
However, as with the great migration of African Americans, Chicago becomes a major focal point. Here we see the development of artists such as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, John Lee Hooker, and Elmore James. Moreover, Palmer moves into a diversification of styles and instrumentation, too great and diverse to name.Indeed, if there is one struggle in reading this extensive history of the blues it is the vast knowledge of the author. Literally listing hundreds of musicians, songs, styles, the careful reader often has to go back to make previous connection. However, in reading the book, I decided to keep my iPad handy and often looked up songs when listed, a very small sample of which I’ve included in this post.
I found this an excellent way to read the book as it became helpful in deciphering Palmer’s dense musical analysis.Anyone who has any interest in Rock and Roll music will begin to see the connections early on, far before Palmer gets to Elvis recording “That’s All Right” as his breakout hit, long before Muddy Waters tours in Europe to influence the Rolling Stones. Many of the early blues standards are songs that modern rock bands have covered and made their own, so anyone who has ever listened to the Stones, the Grateful Dead, the Animals, the Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, The Band, and many other bands will see these songs pop up in this broad telling.There are times when this book can be extensive and listy, and I just discovered that a documentary was also made.
Sometimes, it is best to read it in small chunks, as the names can run together. But it is a must read for any serious lover of any music related to blues, r+b, and rock and roll.
