"... an invaluable key to understanding this group which otherwise seems inarticulate, inscrutable, or threatening. These songs not only provide insight into another social world, but they entertain and please the ear with their artistry. Unitentionally perhaps, they bridge some of the great social and racial divides that America has created, as well as providing spiritual and artistic nourishment for the victims of these divides"". David Evans, University of Memphis, from the Foreword.", The book's strength lies in giving the fully transcribed lyrics center stage in an academic analysis that falls short of being an exhaustive study…[F]or the serious scholar, this well-researched book will shed new light on treasured original material. Record Collector, 2004, SVan Rijn "s treatment is so comprehensive that, at the end of every chapter, he lists every song he has not considered in detail “ and then the songs he has not been able to track down, only about two per chapter [T]here are plenty of lyrics that provide fascination commentaries on America politics. “Jazz Rag, 2004, "Compiler Guido van Rijn has done a superb job, with assistance from Dr. David Evans, Gerry Robs, and experts who provided rare 78s and 45s for transfer." -Blues Revue Magazine, June/July 2004, 'Van Rijn has spread his net wide and has clearly listened to almost every blues and gospel record that has any political content. His method is to sketch in the political context of an issue and then illustrate black responses by quoting (usually complete) blues and gospel lyrics, followed by his own analysis. The method works well and has the additional advantage of providing an important source book for lyrics of the period. The book is generously illustrated with 78 and EP roundels.

Synopsis
Twenty-six of the songs discussed in the text are available on a CD produced by Agram Blues (ABCD 2018) to accompany this book. Digitally remastered and featuring full liner notes by the author, the CD is a unique historical document of the Truman and Eisenhower presidencies. For full details and order information, please contact Guido van Rijn at Prins Mauritslaan 95, 2051 KC Overveen, Netherlands. Email: guido@worldonline.nl Guido van Rijn presents a fascinating and exhaustive account of the gospel and blues music of the immediate postwar period, shedding much light on the civil rights situation of the time and the experience of segregation as well as events such as the Atom Bomb, the Cold War, Korea and of course the Republican victory in 1956. He concentrates on songs that comment on contemporary political events and issues during a crucial time in the shaping of black consciousness in America. In doing so he uncovers a hidden black history of the eve of the emergence of the civil rights movement -- a deep insight into the lives and opinions of people who had few other outlets of expression ., This is a sequel to the author's well-received previous book Roosevelt's Blue (1997). The Truman and Eisenhower Blues is a fascinating and exhaustive account of the gospel and blues music of the post-war period (1945-1960). Van Rijn studies over 300 songs, many of them rare recordings, from artists including Fats Domino, John Lee Hooker and B.B. King, and transcribes 123 of them in their entirety. Tapping sources which have previously been neglected by historians, musicologists and sociologists, he provides an illuminating examination of the themes at the heart of this Cold War music: the reconversion, the atomic bomb, the Korean War, civil rights, Presidential elections, the economy and the space race. The Truman and Eisenhower Blues gives blues and gospel fans a unique chance to understand what the artists were really singing about in their classic recordings from the late forties and the fifties.....A related CD is available from the author's website.

- o***l (307)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoThe item was described to a Tee. Very good communication. Shipping was just a little slow. The box the set of books comes in was damaged (bent corners) due to packaging. Not a deal breaker because the grand kids will not store in that box; might be if it were to be given as a present. The three books in the box arrived in prefect shape. I WOULD purchase from greatbookprices1 again in the future. ThanksConstruction Site Board Books Set, Hardcover by Rinker, Sherri Duskey; Lichte...

- i***y (710)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificato2 volumes of Pogo comic strips, new and in perfect condition. Price was good, but shipping cost ($30 for two books) seems like a lot for how long it took to get delivered (23 days from Illinois to Spain). Also, seller communication was not great. First two times I wrote, their response did not address question. Third response explained at length about the private courier service they use and how it should take 1-10 business days to deliver. Maybe they should consider a different courier service.
- r***_ (106)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificato*Same as the other review* Purchased two box sets from this seller with one being advertised as "like new" but was delivered as if it was actually new. Shipping time was a little slow, takes about 10 days to ship out and it takes a while to get through the system. But the packing was great and I'm still overall happy with my purchase.
