January 2006 will see the release of "The Language of he Blues" (Billboard Books) by author & musician Debra DeSalvo. The book is nearly 200 pages of fabulous stories based on painstaking research and incredibly insightful interviews with such blues luminaries as Little Milton, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Jr. Lockwood, Robben Ford, Bob Margolin, Jimmie Vaughan, Hubert Sumlin, and many more...including a forward by Dr. John.
The book features a quasi-dictionary format and includes entries such as "killing floor", "mojo", "balling the jack", "trick bag", & other blues slang. A must for any fan of the blues, but also a must for any music fan or music researcher.
You can pre-order the book on-line at Amazon.Com, Barnes & Noble, & other major retailers.
