Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, folklorist William Ferris toured his home state of
Mississippi, documenting the voices of African Americans as they spoke about and performed
the diverse musical traditions that form the authentic roots of the blues. Now, Give
My Poor Heart Ease puts a searing selection of the artistically and emotionally rich
voices from this invaluable documentary record. Illustrated with Ferris's photographs
of the speakers and their communities and including a dual CD/DVD that presents his
original field recordings and films, the book features more than twenty musicians
who relate frank, dramatic, and engaging narratives about black life and blues music
in the heart of the American South. Here are the stories of artists who have long
memories and speak eloquently about their lives, blues musicians who represent a wide
range of musical traditions--from one-strand instruments, bottle-blowing, and banjo
to spirituals, hymns, and prison work chants
