In this expertly researched, elegantly written, dispassionate yet thoughtful history (Gary Giddins), award-winning author Ted Gioia gives us the rare combination of a tome that is both deeply informative and enjoyable to read (Publishers Weekly, starred review). From the field hollers of nineteenth-century plantations to Muddy Waters and B.B. King, Delta Blues delves into the uneasy mix of race and money at the point where traditional music became commercial and bluesmen found new audiences of thousands. Combining extensive fieldwork, archival research, interviews with living musicians, and first-person accounts with his own calm, argument-closing incantations to draw a line through a century of Delta blues (New York Times), this engrossing narrative is flavored with insightful and vivid musical descriptions that ensure an understanding of not only the musicians, but the music itself (Boston Sunday Globe). Rooted in the thick-as-tar Delta soil, Delta Blues is already a contemporary classic in its field (Jazz Review)."

Fabrics Great, Size a little Big, Overall Pretty Good
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Navy
This suit was truly great, the size for the pants and the vest were pretty on point, maybe a little long for the pants. The jacket was way too big though compared to the rest. Overall pretty good suit for the price, very surprised at the build quality and faabrics.

Perfect Suit!
Size: 10, Color: Navy Blue-bowtie, Size: 10, Color: Navy Blue-bowtie
So cute! This slim suit fit my 9 yo son great! He’s 4’7 and 73lbs. He wore it to perform in his school’s talent show and again at Easter. We got tons of compliments both times! It’s a good quality, not cheap materials, and he said it was comfortable (he wore it for hours each time). Love, love, love this cute suit!
