August Wilson once again places the African American experience front and center—this time, through the strained interactions between blues musicians and the 1927 recording industry bent on denying them creative freedom and economic equality.  Topics include:  exploitation of African American blues musicians, collaboration vs. individualism, tradition vs. change, and self-preservation.
