The audiobook "The New Blue Music" explores the evolution of rhythm and blues from 1950 to 1999 by analyzing the top songs of each decade, highlighting a diverse range of influential artists. It examines how R&B has maintained its core elements while also undergoing a "re-Africanization" and expanding into a broader musical "super-genre."
