Delta Lady: A Memoir: Rita Coolidge and Michael Walker, The two-time Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter bares her heart and soul in this intimate memoir, a story of music, stardom, love, family, heritage, and resilience.
Although she rarely finds space to explore them in depth, Powers has a knack for drawing out archetypes that span generations. She demonstrates how women gospel singers like Mahalia Jackson "invented rock and roll performance" with vocals that "overrode the mind-body split that kept the sacred from the profane" and traces the flamboyant, visionary candio archetype from its origins in the 19th century through contemporary dandy innovators like Andre 3000 and Kanye West. Powers is hardly the first critic to observe that just about every notable genre and trope in American popular music originated in the black community before being appropriated, usually without due credit, by white performers whose skin color allowed them to access mainstream audiences. Her contribution is to follow this pattern all the way back to America's earliest years as an independent nation, when so many rock critics are happy to stop at jazz and the blues.
