Descriere magazin:
Universally recognized as one of the greatest blues artists,
Memphis Minnie (1897-1973) wrote and recorded hundreds of songs.
Blues people as diverse as Muddy Waters, Johnny Shines, Big Mama Thornton, and Chuck Berry have acknowledged her as a major influence. At a time when most female vocalists sang Tin Pan Alley material,
Minnie wrote her own lyrics and accompanied her singing
with virtuoso guitar playing. Thanks to her merciless imagination and dark humor, her songs rank among the most vigorous and challenging popular poetry in any language.
Woman with Guitar is the first full-length study of the life and work of this extraordinary free spirit, focusing on the lively interplay between
Minnie\'s evolving artistry and the African American community in which she lived and worked. Drawing on folklore, psychoanalysis, critical theory, women\'s studies, and surrealism, the authors\' explorations of Minnie\'s songs illuminate the poetics of popular culture as well as the largely hidden history of working-class women\'s self-emancipation.This revised and expanded edition includes a wealth of new biographical material, including photographs, record contracts, sheet music, and period advertisements, which further vivify this portrait of an African American musical legend. Complete, updated discography included.
Woman with Guitar is a fascinating, thorough and extremely valuable biography of one of American musical history\'s most vibrant and pioneering artists. As the first woman singer/songwriter/ guitarist to ever reach stardom, the story of her life in music, on and off the stage, during one of the most important and formative periods of the origins of popular music, is an indelible, crucial window into that history.--Bonnie Raitt
Woman with
Guitar has been, since it was first published in 1992 and now with this new revised and extended edition, still the only real definitive biography of
Memphis Minnie, the most important female singer, songwriter and guitarist in the history of Delta blues.--Lucinda Williams As a most ardent and devoted lifelong fan of
Memphis Minnie and her music, I avidly devoured the original Woman with Guitar when it first came out in 1992. Now I am excited to be reading this new edition, and so grateful for it\'s additional rare photos and carefully researched details, which shed even more light on this seminal, iconic, almost mythical musical pioneer, who was way ahead of her time,
