The highway blues songs of working-class African-Americans, therefore, have often depicted homelessness, desperation, and daily struggles for survival, a far cry from the middle-class contexts of the 1960s blues revivalists or 1990s Canadian pilgrims. But the social dilemmas (the Vietnam War, alienation, unemployment, changes in family structure) experienced by revivalists and pilgrims have not been insignificant. Like African-American blues singers, they have been experiencing temporal discontinuity and no sense of place. As sense of privation has made the blues attractive to them and a knowledge of the blues has inspired new expressions among them. (from "'From New York City down to the Gulf of Mexico': Highway 61 in African-American Blues, Bob Dylans Songs, and Canadian Film" by Peter Narváez) |
