"Showcasing American music and music making during the Great Depression, Hard Luck
Blues presents more than two hundred photographs created by the New Deal's Farm Security
Administration photography program. With an appreciation for the amateur and the local,
FSA photographers depicted a range of musicians sharing the regular music of everyday
life, from informal songs in migrant work camps, farmers' homes, barn dances, and
on street corners to organized performances at church revivals, dance halls, and community
festivals. Captured across the nation from the northeast to the southwest, the images
document the last generation of musicians who learned to play without the influence
of recorded sound, as well as some of the pioneers of Chicago's R 悰scene and the first
years of amplified instruments. The best visual representation of American roots music
performance during the Depression era, Hard Luck Blues features photographs by Jack
Delano, Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, Arthur Rothstein, Ben Shahn, Marion Post Wolcott,
and others." "Photographer and image researcher Rich Remsberg breathes life into the
images by providing contextual details about the persons and events captured, in some
cases drawing on interviews with the photographers' subjects. Also included are a
foreword by author Nicholas Dawidoff and an afterword by music historian Henry Sapoznik"--From
