Out of ragtime, out of jazz, out of big band music and beyond, American music came into its own due to the talents and experiences of the musicians at the confluence of the Big Muddy and Mississippi rivers. Devil at the Confluence tells the untold story of the profound connection between historical blues artists and their ties to St. Louis. Belford combines years of scholarly research with his well-renowned artwork to present a book that chronicles various legendary talents that built the base for what is now called American popular music.
