ABSTRACT
In a book of this size, we have unfortunately had to omit many fine artists or to cover some important figures with very little detail. Veteran blues artists Lonnie Mack and Delbert McClinton deserve better. There are also significant idiosyncratic artists like jazz-blues artist Mose Allison or Louisiana blues singer Robert Pete Williams who have not been discussed here. It was also impossible in a book this size to list the large number of current Chicago blues artists. Another interesting subject is the large number of blind streetsingers who helped to spread the music. Fortunately many books, CDs, and videos are available to help the reader searching for more information about the blues.
