Ragged but Right by Lynn Abbott

Ragged but Right by Lynn Abbott

A study of how ragtime comedies, bands, and minstrel shows brought blues to the masses. It traces the mass popularity of so-called coon songs during the early years of rag, to their eventual transformation into the original blues music listened to and loved by millions around the world.

He co-wrote (with Doug Seroff) the award-winning book Out of Sight: The Rise of African American Popular Music, 1889-1895 and the forthcoming To Do This, You Must Know How: Music Pedagogy in the Black Gospel Quartet Tradition, both published by the University Press of Mississippi.|Doug Seroff is an independent scholar living in Greenbrier, Tennessee.
