Books by Steve Cushing

Contains interviews of many of the prominent white researchers and enthusiasts whose advocacy spearheaded the blues' crossover into the mainstream starting in the 1960s.

Assembles the best interviews from Steve Cushing's long-running radio program "Blues Before Sunrise", the syndicated, award-winning programme focusing on vintage blues and R & B. This book focuses in particular on pre-World War II blues singers, performers active in 1950s Chicago, and nonperformers who contributed to the early blues world.
