In this expertly researched, elegantly written, dispassionate yet thoughtful history (Gary Giddins), award-winning author Ted Gioia gives us the rare combination of a tome that is both deeply informative and enjoyable to read (Publishers Weekly, starred review). From the field hollers of nineteenth-century plantations to Muddy Waters and B.B. King, Delta Blues delves into the uneasy mix of race and money at the point where traditional music became commercial and bluesmen found new audiences of thousands. Combining extensive fieldwork, archival research, interviews with living musicians, and first-person accounts with his own calm, argument-closing incantations to draw a line through a century of Delta blues (New York Times), this engrossing narrative is flavored with insightful and vivid musical descriptions that ensure an understanding of not only the musicians, but the music itself (Boston Sunday Globe). Rooted in the thick-as-tar Delta soil, Delta Blues is already a contemporary classic in its field (Jazz Review)."

Very nice bracelet organizer
Color: Black, Size: 2 Rolls
This is a great jewelry box for holding bracelets and watches. Easy to open and holders are easy to remove and replace. I especially like the see-thru lid: keeps dust off bracelets and makes it easy to see what's in box.

Would buy again
Color: Black, Size: 2 Rolls
I love it but wish the tubes the bracelets slide onto were a bit smaller. It’s difficult to fit cuffs on without having to bend them and I don’t even have small wrists. Very pretty and fits a lot of cuffs and bracelets.

Love it!
Color: White, Size: 2 Rolls
A very nice bracelet holder. It's much better than I anticipated. It holds everything perfectly. There is enough room on the bottom to store a lot of different things. The bracelet hold there feels sturdy, and I love the color. I like how I can look at the bracelet through the window.

Impressed. This is a nice case. You can slip the bracelets on without any fuss. While I haven’t finished filling this one, I’m already considering a second case for watches and ankle bracelets. It’s convenient to see your items rather than digging for them. Nothing gets tangled either. There’s room for storing additional items below the two display rods.
