MUSIC MAKERS: PORTRAITS AND SONGS FROM THE ROOTS OF AMERICA - Tapa dura

Music Makers: Portraits and Songs from the Roots of America represents a new chapter in America’s ongoing interaction with our traditional musical culture. This book introduces a new cast of artists to dispel the notion that the most real and rooted blues no longer exists. We have “turned on” countless fans to these men and women, revealing new icons for lovers of this music to treasure. Through the years, many younger musicians have apprenticed with these artists and have gone on to make successful careers. We have people throughout the world to learn and to understand and to dig what we are doing. Our work needs to continue to grow, as these musicians remain vibrant, expressive, and vital to our American experience.
