Item description from seller

Reprint (first published by Anchor Press - Doubleday in 1978) INSCRIBED, DATED, AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. xiv, 226 pages. Paperback: H 20.75cm x L 13.25cm. Slight toning and soiling to paper covers with minor scuffing at edges. Four-line non-authorial birthday gift ink inscription to past owner on front cover's blank verso. Author's nine-line inscription to same owner dated November 3, 1981 and familiarly signed "Bill" on title page; interior leaves are otherwise clean. Binding is firm. A very good+ copy. With Preface, four sections of b/w photographs on unpaged leaves, Notes, Bibliography, Discography, Filmography, and Index. Ferris examines the tradition of Mississippi Delta blues and African American folkways with the text divided into four sections: "Blues Roots;" "Blues Composition;" "Blues House Party;" and "Letters." Leland, Mississippi bluesman James "Son" Thomas (1926-1993) is one of the primary musicians featured in the book as are Shelby "Poppa Jazz" Brown, Wallace "Pine Top" Johnson, Lee Kizart, Jasper Love, and Maudie Shirley. Trained as a folklorist and cultural anthropologist, scholar William Ferris is a leading authority on African-American music and has authored/edited ten books as well as produced fifteen documentary films regarding the American South and the Mississippi Delta region. Currently the Joel Williamson Eminent Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ferris has taught at Jackson State University, Yale University, and the University of Mississippi (where he co-founded the Center for the Study of Southern Culture in 1979) and also chaired the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1997-2001. BLUES FROM THE DELTA is frequently lauded as among the best studies of Mississippi blues. This book greatly expands upon Ferris' original essay which was merely 111 pages and was published in London by Studio Vista Ltd. in 1970. Description copyright David Hallinan, Bookseller. {MS Shelf #5} ISBN 0385099207.
