He describes the dozens, Christmas rituals, and the coded (as well as blatant) sexual imagery that has always been a vital element of every popular song tradition. With extensive source notes, photographs, a discography, and two indexes of song titles and singers, this book serves as a sound, serious, and entertaining guide to the blues heritage that has vitalized so much of the world's musical culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Paul Oliver</b> is the author of several books on the blues including <i>Blues Off the Record.</i>
