Over dit product

Product Information

Twenty-six of the songs discussed in the text are available on a CD produced by Agram Blues (ABCD 2018) to accompany this book. Digitally remastered and featuring full liner notes by the author, the CD is a unique historical document of the Truman and Eisenhower presidencies. For full details and order information, please contact Guido van Rijn at Prins Mauritslaan 95, 2051 KC Overveen, Netherlands. Email: guido@worldonline.nl Guido van Rijn presents a fascinating and exhaustive account of the gospel and blues music of the immediate postwar period, shedding much light on the civil rights situation of the time and the experience of segregation as well as events such as the Atom Bomb, the Cold War, Korea and of course the Republican victory in 1956. He concentrates on songs that comment on contemporary political events and issues during a crucial time in the shaping of black consciousness in America. In doing so he uncovers a hidden black history of the eve of the emergence of the civil rights movement -- a deep insight into the lives and opinions of people who had few other outlets of expression .

Reviews
The book's strength lies in giving the fully transcribed lyrics center stage in an academic analysis that falls short of being an exhaustive study…[F]or the serious scholar, this well-researched book will shed new light on treasured original material. Record Collector, 2004, "... an invaluable key to understanding this group which otherwise seems inarticulate, inscrutable, or threatening. These songs not only provide insight into another social world, but they entertain and please the ear with their artistry. Unitentionally perhaps, they bridge some of the great social and racial divides that America has created, as well as providing spiritual and artistic nourishment for the victims of these divides"". David Evans, University of Memphis, from the Foreword.", 'Van Rijn has spread his net wide and has clearly listened to almost every blues and gospel record that has any political content. His method is to sketch in the political context of an issue and then illustrate black responses by quoting (usually complete) blues and gospel lyrics, followed by his own analysis. The method works well and has the additional advantage of providing an important source book for lyrics of the period. The book is generously illustrated with 78 and EP roundels. The Truman Eisenhower Blues comes with a full scholarly apparatus but it is also highly readable and is a model of what blues research should be.' u Juke Blues Magazine, June 2004, "Compiler Guido van Rijn has done a superb job, with assistance from Dr. David Evans, Gerry Robs, and experts who provided rare 78s and 45s for transfer." -Blues Revue Magazine, June/July 2004, SVan Rijn "s treatment is so comprehensive that, at the end of every chapter, he lists every song he has not considered in detail “ and then the songs he has not been able to track down, only about two per chapter [T]here are plenty of lyrics that provide fascination commentaries on America politics. “Jazz Rag, 2004, "Van Rijn has spread his net wide and has clearly listened to almost every blues and gospel record that has any political content. His method is to sketch in the political context of an issue and then illustrate black responses by quoting (usually complete) blues and gospel lyrics, followed by his own analysis.

The Truman Eisenhower Blues comes with a full scholarly apparatus but it is also highly readable and is a model of what blues research should be." - Juke Blues Magazine, 6/04, SThere are only 11 documented blues and gospel recordings from the Truman period that deal with civil rights, and Van Rijn has tracked them all down. The book "s second labour is the author "s painstaking materialist focus on transcribing the lyrics and tracking down the exact references in these highly elusive song forms. “The Wire, 5/1/04, "There are only 11 documented blues and gospel recordings from the Truman period that deal with civil rights, and Van Rijn has tracked them all down. The book's second labour is the author's painstaking materialist focus on transcribing the lyrics and tracking down the exact references in these highly elusive song forms." -The Wire, 5/1/04, [M]any of the lyrics are startling in their poetical insight and drama…Sharply original and inspiring-history through the blues and it makes for an exciting and provocative way to learn it.

This is a book much larger than its ostensible subject matter, though that is so very enjoyable. As such, it rates shelf space in the libraries of readers fascinated by American and African American history, civil rights, and even topical songwriting! Definitely recommended. Sing Out!
