Contents:

Being Black twice : crossover politics in B.B. King's music of the late 1960s -- Like I was a bear or somethin' : blues performances at the Newport Folk Festival -- Trying to find an identity : Eric Clapton's changing conception of blackness -- Germany gets the blues : race and nation at the American Folk Blues Festival -- Enough to make you want to sing the blues : Janis Joplin's life and music -- Resegregating the blues : race and authenticity in the pages of Living blues.

Summary: In the 1960s, within the larger context of the civil rights movement and the burgeoning counterculture, the blues changed from black to white in its production and reception, as audiences became increasingly white. Yet, while this was happening, blackness-especially black masculinity-remained a marker of authenticity. Blues Music in the Sixties discusses these developments, including the international aspects of the blues. It highlights the performers and venues that represented changing racial politics and addresses the impact and involvement of audiences and cultural brokers.
