In the BGSU Libraries Catalog, use the following subject searches:

• Blues (Music)
• Rhythm and Blues Music
• Blues-Rock Music
  
• Guitar Music (Blues)
  
• Piano Music (Blues)
  
• Harmonica Music (Blues)
• Blues Musicians
  

To find books about blues musicians or performers, try a SUBJECT search of the individual's name (Last name, First name).

To find books, recordings, or scores (printed music) by blues musicians or performers, try an AUTHOR search of the individual's name, or a TITLE search of an album title or a song title.

You can also limit your search results by designating a specific material type, such as sound recording or musical score.

Note: Many albums have excellent historical and biographical notes, and lyrics are frequently included on containers or inner liners.
