Foodways: Blues & Other Music

The music appearing on this page primarily concerns the Blues, but additional genres represented include rock, R&B, soul, folk, Cajun, reggae, country, bluegrass, religious music, and others.  The music is international in scope and not limited to the American South or Mississippi.

Although Blues lyrics frequently reference actual ingredients, cooking methods, dishes, and meals, food terminology in the genre just as often appears as double entendre, euphemisms, and metaphors -- usually carnal in nature!  More serious situations are examined in the lyrics of songs such as "Gonna Hold Out Till My Food Stamps Comes" and "Starvation Blues."

The list of recorded song titles is not comprehensive.  Many songs were often recorded by multiple artists or the same artist produced different versions.  Classic blues songs such as "Come on in My Kitchen" by Blues legend Robert Johnson were recorded by numerous artists over the decades.  In the interest of limiting the size of this page, only one recording of a specific song title typically appears (the exception occurs when that song is on an album with other food-related songs).  To find all recorded instances of a song in the Blues Archive, conduct an advanced library catalog search, placing the song title in quotes in the Keyword field and limit the location to "Special Collections/Blues."  Use the same site to look for additional music about specific food commodities, dishes, and kitchen equipment.

Be aware that liner notes on LP album covers and compact discs often provide useful information and critical analysis of the artist and songs and may also include a transcript of lyrics.

In addition to recorded songs, this page possesses separate lists of musical scores and sheet music as well as books, videos, and manuscript collections with material about music and food.
