Description for the Blues Foundation:
“Blues and Gospel Records has been one of the standard blues reference books since its first publication in 1964. It also ranks as one of the most complete reference works of any kind, thoroughly documenting, within its guidelines, every pre-World War II recording session by an African-American blues or gospel performer by artist, title, personnel, date, location, matrix number, original record label, and release number. Much of the data comes from original record company files, filled out by contributions of collectors the world over and the recollections of blues musicians.”

**"Buckram is a stiff cotton (occasionally linen or horse hair) cloth with a loose weave, often muslin. The fabric is soaked in a sizing agent such as wheat starch paste, glue (such as PVA glue), or pyroxylin (gelatinized nitrocellulose, developed around 1910), then dried. When rewetted or warmed, it can be shaped to create durable firm fabric for book covers, hats, and elements of clothing."**
