Material Detail

Lady Plays the Blues Project is a digital annotated bibliography and multimedia archive that aims to raise awareness of and stimulate research, teaching, and use of collections around Black women country blues guitarists whose contributions to the development of blues music and culture have been ignored, overlooked, dismissed, or forgotten. This project consists of comprehensive profiles of nine Black women country blues guitarists; a digital annotated bibliography of books that capture the material conditions that shaped each artist; and an interactive story map that visualizes the cultural geography of country blues with the featured women at its center. The profiles of the nine selected artists include biographical essays, interactive timelines, discographies, curated playlists, liner notes, sheet music with tablature, songbooks and lessons, interviews, photographs, and recorded performances.
