“Blues Deluxe” is a comprehensive guide to blues music. It features a distinctive monochrome cover design and character illustrations, making it visually appealing. I don't think there's another blues compilation out there that's so diverse, packed with solid information, and has this much volume. In addition, the 143-page LP-sized guidebook includes a glossary of blues terms, introductions to famous albums, interviews with Japanese artists who were influenced by the genre, original essays, full song explanations by Mr. Uchida and others, and a history of artist visits to Japan. The content is so detailed and thorough that it's hard to believe it was compiled in Japan, far from the land and culture of the blues. Japanese blues fans are well-known, and I've even heard that blues clubs in Chicago are filled with black people and Japanese people. Even so, I think a product with this much content would be valuable even in the United States. This is a must-have item for anyone interested in blues music or who wants to delve deeper into music history. Recommended for all music lovers. - Title: Blues Deluxe - Complete Guide: 143 pages - Lyrics included, with Japanese translations - Content: Music guidebook - Language: Japanese *The box is the same size as an LP. #BluesDeluxe #Blues #R&B Yokaidan I have stored this at home for a long time for collection purposes.
