In the United Kingdom, The Archive of African American Music is due to open soon in Gloucester - this will house the Paul Oliver Collection and should benefit blues scholars and musicians. The major blues archives in the United States (such as those at The University of Mississippi, and Chicago Public Library) hold runs of international journals. Although many of the specialist journals listed are obscure, they are usually traceable through the National Library of the country of publication. Long-established titles such as Jefferson (1968–), Soul Bag (1968–), Living Blues (1970–), Block (1975–), Blues & Rhythm (1984–), and Juke Blues (1985–) continue to attract international subscribers. European publications sometimes feature articles on homegrown as well as American musicians. The nature of these magazines varies depending on their target audience Living Blues still concentrates on African American blues artists (although its remit has expanded to occasionally include “Deep soul” singers) while other publications such as Blues Revue focus on White rock/blues acts as well as more traditional Black musicians. Specialist blues magazines continue to emerge and disappear - the final issue of Blues Access appeared in 2002 - but other publications have materialized to take their place. Approximately half the sources included have been checked by myself or other helpful individuals. Physical distribution and rarity of materials have prevented the examination of every item listed, and some references are regrettably but unavoidably incomplete. The cutoff date is 2005, although I make no apologies for including some research in the first half of 2006 such as entries for the Routledge Encyclopedia of the Blues. This revised and updated version includes those writings published prior to 1999 that I was unable to list in the first edition, as well material produced since that date. Newspaper articles and unpublished theses have also been included where locatable. In this second edition I have chosen to concentrate on books and journal articles which has meant less information being included in the form of record liner notes (although I have by no means neglected these altogether). Since the first edition of this bibliography was published in November 1999, an enormous amount of research has become available.
