Monday, Nov. 16, 2009: Give My Poor Heart Ease by William Ferris (UNC Press). "This book is indispensable for anyone who cares to know the roots of Mississippi blues music. William Ferris interviewed dozens of people who spoke about their lives, their music, both secular and non-secular. They talked about field songs, prison chants, hymns and spirituals they sang in church. Some of these interviews are painful to read, but like singing the blues they make the pains bearable, and sometimes even comic.” Ernest J. Gaines
