GUEST,Jerome Clark	12-bar blues on record before 1921 (32)	RE: 12-bar blues on record before 1921	08 May 16
An excellent book on the subject is Peter C. Muir's Long Lost Blues: Popular Blues in America, 1850-1920 (University of Illinois Press, 2010). A truly eye-opening treatment which altered my understanding of the music, it has the additional virtue, not shared by all books on blues, of grinding no axes, just telling the story in a reasonable, balanced, and engaging manner.
