Blues - Philosophy for Everyone: Thinking Deep About Feeling Low

Allhoff, Fritz; Steinberg, Jesse R.; Fairweather, Abrol; Iglauer, Bruce

The philosophy of the blues

From B.B. King to Billie Holiday, Blues music not only sounds good, but has an almost universal appeal in its reflection of the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Its ability to powerfully touch on a range of social and emotional issues is philosophically inspiring, and here, a diverse range of thinkers and musicians offer illuminating essays that make important connections between the human condition and the Blues that will appeal to music lovers and philosophers alike.
