BLUES RESEARCH NOTICEBOARD
NEW: Slave To The Blues - Coffles and the Auction Block
This article is part of a far larger work ('Slave To The Blues') which seeks to focus on the secular roots of the Blues back in slavery times in the USA. 
Slave To The Blues is a long term collaborative project between Max Haymes, Rex Haymes, Robin Andrews, Dai Thomas and Alan White, where we intend to highlight the non-religious music of the African American before 1865; and at the end of the Civil War, paying particular attention to the corn shucking songs.

Coming late 2010:
Slavery and the Underground Railroad - focus on Cincinnati, Ohio.

Quote for earlyblues.com from Gary Fletcher, The Blues Band:
"Perhaps more than the musicians themselves I think it’s the guys who chronicle the blues, past and present, who keep the blues alive. Without the efforts of those who create resources such as earlyblues.com there would be little or no cohesion between the various elements that go to make up today’s blues scene"
