"Charting the history of the blues from its rural roots in the American South, and focusing on the key musicians and singers who brought it recognition worldwide, The Blues: A Visual History is a unique and fully illustrated account of the development of the blues. This deceptively simple, 12-bar musical form has become the common denominator that has driven the popular music of the last hundred years. As John Lee Hooker put it: ""The music we play... that music is the roots. Rock music, everything else, is like a branch on the same tree. It all comes from the Blues.""

AUTHOR: Mike Evans is a musician, editor, and author whose books include the best selling Elvis: A Celebration, and Ray Charles: The Birth of Soul. Consultant editor Robert Gordon is a Grammy Award–winning writer and filmmaker specialising in the music of the American south, and Scott Barretta is a blues specialist writer, broadcaster and lecturer.
