Looking back on this work which was done in the sixties, I am struck by how the blues world has changed during the past forty years. Today the blues are a respected part of American music, and educational, museum, and performance venues now exist in many of the places featured in this book, a change that neither I nor the artists whom I recorded could have imagined at the time.”—William Ferris
