The Wall Street Journal reviews “Barrelhouse Words”

The December 26, 2009, edition of The Wall Street Journal included an enthusiastic review of Stephen Calt’s new book Barrelhouse Words: A Blues Dialect Dictionary.

 

An impeccably scholarly, irresistibly readable guide to the language heard on the recordings of the great blues singers who were active in the first half of the 20th century.
