| Abstract | Here is the story of Cincinnati's urban blues from its earliest recordings in the 1920s through the triumph of King Records in the 1950s to the blues resurgence of the early 1990s. This book shows how the strong tradition of Cincinnati blues emerged from the experiences of African-Americans in neighborhoods like Rat Row and the West End, providing relief, release, and entertainment for all who performed or listened. |
