Through a critical examination of the work of 19th and 20th century folklorists, historians, and popular writers, Govenar documents the transition from African-styled banjos and fiddles to the rudiments of blues guitar and the emergence of a distinctly Texas sound. As "race music" began to capture the interest of 1920s America, Blind Lemon Jefferson, a Dallas street musician from East Texas, emerged as the biggest selling blues singer in the country. Jefferson's guitar style and musical innovations spread quickly among his peers and were seminal in the growth of modern blues. Jefferson's profound impact. on the development of blues is probably most apparent in the music of Aaron ''T-Bone" Walker, who introduced the electric guitar as a lead instrument in blues in the 1940s, and over the years, influenced virtually every electric blues guitarist that followed him. 650 0 Blues musicians |zTexas |vInterviews. |=^A345200 650 0 Blues (Music) |zTexas |xHistory and criticism. |=^A54525 830 0 John and Robin Dickson series in Texas music. |=^A772110 994 92 |bERE 910 PromptCat 980 2008-12-03 |b40 |d0 |e33.6 |f573392 |h40016095635 |iML 394 .G68 2008 596 3 998 1442650
