Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this spectacular album of full-color photographs Birney Imes reveals a previously unexplored domain: the black juke joints of the Mississippi Delta. Imes transforms this phenomenon of Delta cultural life into something rich and strange. Introduced by Richard Ford.

Synopsis:

"These photographs explore the wildly expressive interior decor of these bars with their spray-painted walls, hand-lettered signs, plywood floors, and well-kept pool tables." --David Featherstone, The Friends of Photography

this great work on the african american tavern culture of the mississppi delta is a must see or must have for blues fans....the cultue of the juke joints have all but disappeared from the missisisippi delta blues country...there is a large photo from an interior shot of john travolta that is amazing....juke joint is now in its third printing and for the price is an unbelievable buy with the dramatic and elequent shots both inside and outside....lucindia williams has one of the photos (purple rain lounge on the back dust jacket) on an album cover....dont miss this one....it has become a cult classic....thanks tommy lee brown
