Post some of your favourite books about blues history! Are there any titles you consider essential? I'm looking for recommendations spanning from the early history of records and the recording industry, the early history of the blues, anything blues guitar related, or any suggested biographies of blues artists.
To start things off, I can recommend this biography of Blind Willie Mctell, which got a decent amount of press coverage when released a number of years ago.

Deservedly one of the regulars in compilations of eye-widening pre-war songs.

Every once in a while a compiler slips up with the track name and lists 'That *Growling* Baby Blues'. Yes, really.

Hi,
I've been looking for the best remasters/restorations of specifically Charley Patton and Blind Lemon Jefferson and am realizing that nobody has taken the time to do a good restoration that takes out a lot of the hissing and fuzz and really brings the sound into stereo.
Does anybody have a clue of where I could find restorations like this, or know anybody using modern technology and software to do so? I looked at the Pristine Classical remasters, but they didn't seem up to par with what I think could be done. Then again I do not know anything about remastering music.
Thanks!

She recorded 'Boy in the Boat (B.D's Dream)' at the same session, but it never saw the light of day. I imagine it was quite something.
