    Rhythm And Blues in New Orleans Revised and Updated Edition

    Rhythm and Blues in New Orleans is a comprehensive history documenting the rise and development of a unique musical form. Originally published in Great Britain under the title Walking to New Orleans, this revised edition has more than 100 new pages of interviews and information chronicling the careers and music of the major R&B artists. Broven has included the important peripheral activity of the New Orleans music industry in the areas recording studios, clubs, and record companies.

    Much of the material comes firsthand from the musicians who helped create R&B as a musical genre. The authors original interviews have been augmented by fresh research and new conversations with the artists. Broven completely covers the dramatic rise and fall of the Golden Age of New Orleans Rhythm and Blues from the 1940s through 60s and now adds the legacy to date of this powerful and influential regional sound.
