Wyman, former bass guitarist for the Rolling Stones and the author of two previous books, has assembled a visually stunning coffee-table tribute to the blues that serves as the companion volume to the Bravo special of the same name, airing on November 1. Although detail is somewhat thin in this type of book, given the breadth of the subject, Wyman brings out the connections among blues and jazz, vaudeville, rock'n'roll, minstrel song, and white country music as well as anyone could in anything short of a scholarly treatise. Included are the author's interesting vignettes from his tour notes with the Rolling Stones, interviews with blues performers, brief biographies, fact files, and influences. Wyman's love of the blues and his attachment to its practitioners are obvious at every turn. Although Wyman does not include a bibliography or even a short suggested reading list, he does offer a discography of favorite recordings that captures a large range of blues-based styles from Bessie Smith to Eric Clapton and shows the debt rock owes to blues music. Blues fans and especially followers of blues-influenced rock bands will pore over this; recommended for public libraries with large popular music collections. James E.
