John Minton
When record men first travelled from Chicago or invited musicians to studios in New York, these entrepreneurs had no conception how their technology would change the dynamics of musical performance. 78 Blues covers a revolution in performance perception through close examination of hundreds of key "hillbilly" and "race" records released between the 1920s and World War II.
