Synopsis
Blue-singer, songwriter, piano and guitar player, William Bunch (1902-1941) was well-known as Peetie Wheatstraw, the Devil's Son-in-Law and the High Sheriff from Hell. Long recognized by connoisseurs as one of the most influential blues people of all time, his life and work are little known to the broad public. Blues scholar Paul Garon's important and abundantly illustrated study - drawing on his own extensive interviews with Wheatstraw's relatives, and fellow musicians - brings the exciting Whatstraw saga to life at last. With insight and imagination, Garon explores Peetie Wheatstraw's crucial role not only in blues history, but also in African American urban mythology, and - via a penetrating analysis of song lyrics - his appreciable contributions to blues poetry and to vernacular surrealism. Originally published in the UK in 1971, this substantially revised and expanded edition includes a mass of new information and images, as well as an updated bibliography, discography and index. Also included is a 24-track CD portraying Peetie at his best, with a bonus track by Harmon Ray, the previously unissued Xmas Blues!, Music. African American Studies. Print and CD Format. A look at the life and music of Peetie Wheatstraw, complete with companion CD. "A brilliant reconstruction of one particular blues singer and the life he must have lead...a fascinating picture of an era long departed...a very fine book" - Derrick Stewart-Baxter,Jazz Journal. "Combines Marxism, surrealism and psycoanalysis in an innovative and engaging analysis of the poetry and power of black secular music" - David Roediger. " A new and important approach to the analysis of blues as a psychopoetic phenomenon" - Samuel Floyd.
