Tracy, Steven C., Going to Cincinnati: A History of the Blues in the Queen City
Published: 1993 University of Illinois Press
ISBN 0-252-01999-7
A collection of essays, arranged roughly chronologically, on the history of the blues in Cincinnati, Ohio. After an introductory chapter tracing the earliest African-American music in the city, the book settles down into chapters on the major individuals, groups of musicians, and companies involved with the blues in Cincinnati. Topics include Stovepipe No. 1 and his circle of musicians, the various Coles and Colemans active in
the city in the 1920s and 30s, Pigmeat Jarrett, Big Joe Duskin, King Records, H-Bomb Ferguson, and others.
Pros: Well organized, well written, packed with information. Especially for the pre-war artists discussed, one gets the feeling that every scrap of available information has been included. Includes a bibliography,
discography, and notes.
Cons: Later chapters may not be of interest to Weenies. One wishes maps had been included.
