In the preface, the editor has mentioned the book "Blues People: Negro Music in White America" by Leroi Jones. Has anybody read it? I read it many years ago. It was a good book written in a different time, so is likely to be dated by today's standards. Just seeing its title makes me shudder. Shine On Michael

Still widely available under authors real name Amiri Baraka, published in 60's. It'll be dated.

Hi again !
I had a book decades back, by Leroi Jones about blues music and Africa, the history/explanation/demystifying of origins of the devil/Legba/rolling stones/hoodoo/voodoo etc in blues music etc. I'll need to check if it is the same book, or something different to your one mentioned.

Hi again ! Maybe I’m getting mixed up with another either, who I’m fairly sure also used a fake author name : Or is Julio Finn actually LeRoi Jones ?
