Описание: Louisiana's unique multicultural history has led to the development of more styles of American music than anywhere else in the country. Encyclopedia of Louisiana Musicians compiles over 1,600 native creators, performers, and recorders of the state's indigenous musical genres. The culmination of years of exhaustive research, Gene Tomko's comprehensive volume not only reviews major and influential artists but also documents for the first time hundreds of lesser-?known notable musicians. Arranged in accessible A- Z format- from Fernest ""Man"" Abshire to Zydeco Ray- Tomko's concise entries detail each musician's life and career, reflecting exciting new discoveries about many enigmatic and early artists: Country Jim, Henry Zeno, Douglas Bellard, Good Rockin' Bob, Blind Uncle Gaspard, Emma L. Jackson, and Rocket Morgan, to name just a few. A separate section features musicians from elsewhere who made an impact in Louisiana, such as Mississippi?-born blues singer?-songwriter-?guitarist Eddie ""Guitar Slim"" Jones and celebrated jazz pianist Billie Pierce, a native of Florida. The final section highlights key regional record producers and studio and label owners, like J. D. Miller, Stan Lewis, and Cosimo Matassa, who have enabled future generations to enjoy music of the Bayou State. Written with both the casual fan and the scholar in mind, Encyclopedia of Louisiana Musicians is the definitive reference on Louisiana's rich musical legacy and the numerous important musicians it has produced.
Описание: First published in 1999, the main part of this reference consists of an alphabetical listing of many hundreds of artists, with details on band personnel, instrumentation, location, titles performed, sources, and other relevant notes included in each listing.

Описание:
C. Marshall Turner has masterfully woven a tale of love, adventure, and heartbreak set in the depths of Louisiana Cajun country. Josephine Chauvin is a mother who must make a decision no mother should ever be faced with---save some of her children at the expense of others. Josephine's daughter, Evangeline, shares her mother's worries until they escape into the swamp. Free from the troubles they left behind, Evangeline blossoms into a strong and independent young woman. The mysterious James enters their lives to help mend still-open wounds. Infusing side stories as varied as life in the foothills of North Carolina, the Korean War, and the Catholic Church, C. Marshall Turner has produced a beautiful story, with rich narratives and provocative descriptions of a place known for its joie de vivre.
